Modlbldr Posted July 15, 2020 Share 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- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted July 15, 2020 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Very cool! Nice build of a difficult old kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I Am Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Looks great Tom! Can you flock the floorboards to match the seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share 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- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Very nice build, not overdone, but something you'd possibly see at a VW bug meet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I like the strong looking paint color and the finish. The interior looks very rich with the exterior color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share 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- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share 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- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeakDoc Posted July 18, 2020 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
