Just got my Golf GTi kit

Revell and Revell AG quality control is horrible, I am the third person that got the Golf GTI kit with the Convertible parts trees instead of the hard top trees.

One can never have too many uptops.

Picked up this one that's been on my "Holy Grail" list a while.

See if you can identify....

George Barris custom Mustang. Sonny and Cher had one each

Just got home from work, and found the Fujimi 1/24 scale Ferrari 250 GTO waiting for me. Got it at a good price, and fairly fast from Tokyo Hobby in Japan. Looks like a very nice kit. And I'm very impressed with speed it got to me.

That's very strange, just been to check all my Gti kits, luckily there all fine with not a sign of any convertible parts to be seen ... Edited by GeeBee

I am the third person so far , so who knows how many are out there that have the two parts trees belonging to the Cabrio kit, and are there Cabrio kits out there with the GTi parts trees ?

My Cabrio is fine, only 'extra' parts are hubcaps for a steel wheel version, not included.

Make out of that what you will, they didn't cast them for the craic.

There must be a steel wheel ie a basic version in the works somewhere? Maybe a German spec Police car...

I have no idea Jonathan as to why they are there, one set of Scirocco type alloys only with the Cabrio, the GTI never had them.

Perhaps they have more versions on the way Shay ....

Just checked and the GTi out and it has the same hubcaps, looks like Revell as something up their sleeve ...
