VW Zender Corrado Cabrio

[Modlbldr]

I finished this one yesterday. It was one that I had gotten in a partially finished state from a friend. He had given up on it because the body was slightly warped at the passenger front corner. It was missing the windshield and decals.

I had to repaint it due to the fact that he hadn't painted the mirrors and had cut out the hood but hadn't widened it for a proper fit. I couldn't match the paint so I did a total repaint with Lime Ice. I lowered the suspension, widened the hood, made a windshield and finished the assembly. Decals were added to break up the green and for practice.

Not my cup of tea, but couldn't deal with the fact that the kit was partially completed, forgotten and lying in a box outside in a dilapidated pole barn for years. Now it's on a shelf for display.

Hope you enjoy.

Looks pretty cool to me. Did Volkswagen actually make a convertible Corrado or was that a custom feature you added?

I'm not sure if the convertible was a VW feature or a conversion from Zender. Perhaps someone else has that info. This is the way the kit came. I didn't modify it.
