Terminator-Fox Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I just finished up this build today. I gotta admit I'm a huge Audi fan and when I got back into the hobby I searched around what kind of Audi kits were out there. Really not too many options honestly. This is a Fujimi kit from 1988 and I got it on ebay along with the BBS wheels from Japan. I updated the look of the car rather than doing a totally stock looking car. The stock wheels are ugly IMO and you could get BBS looking mesh wheels back in the day. A little back story on why I built the car the way I did was my father worked for an Audi dealer many years ago. When Audi 90's were new, early 90's And I still remember him bringing home a Pearl White on Black Leather Audi 90 as a demo. Hence the Pearl White/Black interior combo of my model. I added the Fujimi 18" scale BBS wheels and painted the centers white. They come with big Brembo brakes, I painted the calipers are dark blue gunmetal color. I tinted all the lights with a black wash. Pearl White paint, black leather looking interior. Hand painted window moldings, grilles, detailed the simple chassis best I could etc. The kit is just a curbside so no drivetrain. I like how the car turned out Pics aren't the best I know.

o-man Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 That kit looks way better than I thought it would. You did a heck of a job on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator-Fox Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks guys! I would've liked to lower it more but with how the chassis mounts on the body I just didn't see a way or really want to start hacking on things. Slowly getting back into building after a long hiatus haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragline Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I worked on quite a few of those years ago. I didn't know there was a kit available. Nice color combo too. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydar Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Quite a nice build. Beautiful pearl white finish. Too bad Fujimi cheated on the quattro part. Joe. Edited January 2, 2014 by jaydar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Nice...too bad no one is doing modern Audi sedans and coupes in scale...would love to have kits of cars like the A5/S5, RS6, A7/S7, A8/S8... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator-Fox Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) No kidding, I'd love to have a late 90's A4 touring car race car. S4 etc. I have a Tamiya Audi Coupe to build yet.

Perspective Customs Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Really nice build & paint. I'm an Audi fan too. Had an '86 4000 way back when. I'd say go for it, hack it & drop the stance a bit. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
