Modlbldr Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Just finished this up. This is the Skip's Fiesta kit. Not the greatest, but doesn't turn out bad. I used resin wheels from Fink's Garage and scratchbuilt the mirrors and bumpers. Comments and criticisms welcomed. Later-
iamsuperdan Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Awesome colour scheme! I did a Porsche 993 in the same colours a few years ago. Yours is much better than the box art!
stitchdup Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Thats pretty cool, it looks very modern somehow but still classic cal look
Sam I Am Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Looks great Tom! Can you flock the floorboards to match the seats?
Modlbldr Posted July 15, 2020 Author Posted July 15, 2020 Thanks guys! I appreciate it! It was a fun build. The kit wasn't difficult, just not a great kit. 29 minutes ago, Sam I Am said: Looks great Tom! Can you flock the floorboards to match the seats? I could have flocked them but I didn't want the interior to be too red. Later-
GeeBee Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Very nice build, not overdone, but something you'd possibly see at a VW bug meet....
Spottedlaurel Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Looks really good, and without doubt an improvement on the box rendition!
espo Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 I like the strong looking paint color and the finish. The interior looks very rich with the exterior color.
Modlbldr Posted July 17, 2020 Author Posted July 17, 2020 Thanks guys. I forgot that I have one more thing to do. I need to install some straight pin heads for the wheel lugs. I'll try to get that done this weekend. Later-

Husky1943 Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 The car is gorgeous! The color scheme is perfect. I mean, PERFECT!

Plowboy Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 That's a cool little V-Dub Tom! Colors are spot on! Wheels really sets it off! Makes me want to build one.
RAMBENNA Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 I really like it ,turned out great. great colors too
Modlbldr Posted July 18, 2020 Author Posted July 18, 2020 Thanks Fellas! I didn't think there would be this many who would like this build due to the quality of the kit I started with. Glad you guys like it. Later-
BeakDoc Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) I dig everything about it! Fantastic color combo. The wheels were certainly worth it. They cement the entire look. Edited July 18, 2020 by BeakDoc
