Really cool.... How did that build? I was thinking about getting one. 

[PatW]

Thanks Tim. It built very well it has a quality about it, PE parts, seat belt materials, highly detailed interior, super standard decals, but I chose the Colorado decals as they are more colourful, and... the side decals from the front edge of the doors , to the back are all one piece, superb!

Expertly built rendition of a sweet little car!!!!!....How do you like Bell kits?, I've never seen one in person.

[PatW]

Thanks Dann. My comments are above about Belkits and the amount of parts, quality, PE parts etc, the interior detail is amazing.

And extra tools!

Looks great!

[PatW]

Thanks Chris.

If I didn't have shaky hands I would have built the lamps with all the tiny metal pins supplied. So I added plastic straps and painted the top matt black for night stages...........

Nice Pat.. I've never heard of Belkits but they are expensive in the states.  Though, sounds like from your description they come with some aftermarket style parts.

[PatW]

Thanks again jchrisf. I think after building two they are perhaps better value that the Tamiya kits and more up to date.

Great job,the car looks like it's going fast just sitting still.

[PatW]

Cheers John. Yes it's VW's clever body wrap colouring and design that makes it look like that!

Another awesome build from you...this looks really sweet

I always look forward to see what you have built when I see your name pop up in the under glass

[PatW]

Thanks Scott. I try and do something different each time, as I have no preferences with what type of vehicle I build as long as it's not Military!

I believe the lights are a great addition and well executed, Sir. Well done.

Thanks Brian & Ashley.

Awesome. I think I need to save for one of these. I see they have the decals for the Latvala team.... I have a buddy who's a Latvala so that would be a nifty addition to the collection.
