Volkswagen Scirocco

[Cpt Tuttle]

Old AMT Scirocco used as a basis

Engine

Interior...still lacking the backseat though.

Nice and shiny paint!

Found those nice rims in the parts bin.....the tyres however are from a Tamiya Honda CRX to get a low enough profile.

Cool, I think this could be the first build of this kit I've seen. I like your colour choices too, like something from the h2o show n shine

[Brizio]

Looks good! Nice wheels!

You sure aren't letting the cold weather hold you back!

[Monty]

Looks like you chose a great color.  Would you mind telling us what it is (ex: Tamiya #TS-35, Testors #1237 etc) 

[Cpt Tuttle]

Some automotive touch up paint....i think that it may be Chrysler "Deep coral red" (Paint code PVJ).

[DumpyDan]

Looks good so far, glad your painting out side in the winter.  I do it all the time in the winter at -30

[kelson]

Looks good so far.i'm on the fence about whether I want to buy this kit,any fit issues so far?.

[Cpt Tuttle]

Nothing a little file, sandpaper and CA glue won't fix...

 

Detail painted the grille.....black VW badge like on the Rabbit GTi, just like I want it.

Blacked out taillamps and matte black panel behind them, bit of a 90s tuner look, maybe a quite big oval tailpipe would look best?

The rims does fit like a glove!


Moved the bumpers more flush to the body and shortened the ends for a slimmer look.

Really loved the Sciirroco until I took a 15km ride in the back of one. Hitched a lift home in a Toyota Carina. Still think the Sci Roccet out-cools a Golf (Rabbit). Love what you are doing here.

[Cpt Tuttle]

Haha, I see what you mean there!

[Cpt Tuttle]

Most of the time I hate doing engine bays, I usually glue the hood shut.....and just throw in the engine there straight from the box.
However, it was fun for some reason on this model!
I have detailed a bit more, but I'll show that tomorrow.

A very light white wash toned down the chrome on the headlights. Hardly noticeable but still more realistic. I don't want any fogged headlamps like on a rusty Ford Mondeo, after all....and yes, I'm going to fix the areas that is accidentaly painted black.

Painted the hood too. Don't know why I didn't do it earlier to be honest....

[Cpt Tuttle]

Did some more detailing under the hood. There was no brake master cylinder so I took one out of the parts bin. Also, I added battery cables and a vaccuum hose to the brake booster.

Painted the sound insulation under the hood, something I've never thought of before.

A car like this can't have a dorky little peashooter for the exhaust, but it turned out that one of the pipes from a '05 300C could be adapted to fit.

Not bad!
