The Creative Explorer Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Well, I finished my review model of the Trabant Universal. It is a amazingly nice model, it flew together and the decals are great. There are some minor issues, but nothing not solvable. I tried to replicate the car that was shown in the Revell presentation at ROG HQ, it isn't exactly, but for me close enough. And I took some liberties, as I had only 1 photo. This is the original car: And this is my build of it:
Austin T Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 That is pretty cool. I might have to pick one of these up.
1 bad55 stan Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Fantastic build,it looks pretty close to that 1.1 car,
GeeBee Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Very nice, how was the kit to put together ? any problems ?
Prince Ital Mike Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Perfect!!! Love that customized DDR sticker...
Chuck Most Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Must have missed the announcement this kit was on the shelves- I knew it was coming. Gotta get one now! Great job on this one- for some reason it's making me think of an old rally car.
Volvoman Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Very, very nice!! I may be tempted to build mine now!!!
robertw Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I love that and you did a great build. I hope my LHS can get one in for me, they've been pretty good at getting Revell Germany kits in the past. It would make an excellent addition to my "Cars only an owner would love" collection.
The Creative Explorer Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 Thanks guys for the complements! Very much appreciated. @Geoff: nope, it flew together, very nice fit, although strong joint-lines that need clean up. But that's it. @Michael: The XDX decal came with the decalsheet, which has very nice decals, they are perfect! Extremely close trimmed and go to the car with so much ease and has a very nice gloss.

Helix Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Very impressive work Eric, looks really nice mate ! The tow bar is interesting, us Aussies would say "That thing couldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding" being a small car !!
jbwelda Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 that is fantastic, very nice detail and look. I have the kit already and I think I am going to do something a bit different with it. yours really sets a bar for box stock, looks great! jb
