Fujimi Volkswagen Golf MkIII VR6

[potsie]

This is my model of the Fujimi Volkswagen Golf MkIII VR6 (kit #03241 / ID-60). The paint is Tamiya TS-95 Pure Metallic Red (Mazda Soul Red) over a gloss black undercoat. Centres of the BBS wheels were painted gold for accent. Interior is various shades of black and dark grey. Homemade numberplates using the “Euro style” of plate available here in New South Wales, Australia. I think this might be the first time I cut the roof and installed the optional sunroof. Arguably the ride height is too high but I decided against modifying; it looks fine on the shelf.

The kit had a very different assembly style to what I am used to, with some parts being screwed together – e.g. the seats onto the floor, dashboard into interior tub – while the glass has a snap-kit style of installation with locator pins which meant no glue was required. It would be an ideal kit for someone transitioning from snap-kit to full glue models. Not sure how many kits with this style of assembly Fujimi made, but I think I have a Lamborghini Diablo in my stash that is similar.

Anyway, here are the photos.

Grant.
