fredo84 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hi Guys ! I got this kit some will ago... It's an Old kit issue in 1964 ( If I'm not mistaking... ) ( Love That side box art ! ) I already strip all chrome and primer everywhere... I'm thinking of building it Box Stock with some detailing... Just a little mock up with stock wheels-stock tire: But I might drift at some point..... Wheels and Tires from Fujimi Golf II GTI (I know it's a bit weired.... ) The Idea Of The Cragar-Stock Tires Cross My Mind ...I had to try ..... Any Idea-Critics-Comment Are Welkom ! Good Or Bad ... Thanks For Lookin'! F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) Love seeing this come together. This kit has a reputation for being a bear to get right, but your work looks great so far. Edited November 19, 2012 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertw Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I built this kit way back when and as I recall a lot of the parts of it don't fit all that well, but then back in the late '60s I wasn't that great a modeller so maybe it is a better kit then I recall. Either way have fun and I'll look forward to your posts on this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredo84 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Ok it's done ... Just i will not post picture under glass ... As everybody know ...it's a difficult kit to make it all fit ...well maybe it's me that I'm not good ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Wow, you finished THAT kit in four days? I've heard some people call those kits nearly unbuildable, I for one would like to see how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
