Hey all, been a while (better part of a year) since I've built a model. Thought I'd get back into it this year with this fujimi mk3 golf gti kit. The kit's listed as a 16v, but it's actually an old style (non-crossflow) 8v in the engine bay. It'll be pretty stock, other than being lowered and having different wheels. The wheels I'm using are Fujimi Hayashi Streets in 15". So far I've ground down the inner hubs of the wheel to lower the offsets, put the pirelli tires from the kit on the rear wheels, narrowed the front advan tires (to give them a stretched look), lowered the suspension (only one side is lowered, I wanted to figure out how low I was gonna go before doing both sides) and that's about it. I'm open to suggestions on color, the last mk3 I built was as close as I could find to Steel Blue metallic, so I'd like to do maybe a Silver Arrow or Candy White Gti. My 1:1 mk3's are Tornado red and Windsor Blue Metallic. Here's the last mk3 kit I built. It was a vr6.
