Kmb0319 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Zig-zagging from old to new, I moved into building my Revell Audi R8. I love this car, and was excited to dive into this kit. Seeing other builds and researching, this is a pretty car, but the black ones have a real presence. The roof line and headlights make it look a little like Darth Vader's helmet, so I had to do that with mine. I left it box stock, as this is a beautifully detailed kit, one of the best I've ever seen from Revell. I also have to compliment the decals... again, the best I've ever seen in a Revell box. Duplicolor black and my Automotive Touchup spray clear. The interior is Vallejo gray-black and semi-gloss black with the kit's quilted decals on the seats and door panels. I like the brightness alumimum adds to a dark interior, so that's what I used for the dash arch and door areas. For the tail lights, keeping with the theme, I painted the red in the light assembly and used a little Tamiya Smoke for the lenses. I did have one problem, and that was the windows. They were brittle, the etching for the black areas was heavily faded and hard to see, and a little warped. The right side window just wouldn't go into place properly, so I had to leave it out. Anyway, I wanted sinister... I think this did it. Hope you like it. The Engine, before and after placement The interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
