This kit is made by Revell. I wanted a Mk1 gti as that's my dream car  :laugh: but they don't make them. They do make a samba bus (VW split screen). Model was £17.99 then £13.00 on paints and glue :)

You'd have thought the dash would have been made from black plastic as well.

Everything is red! Then there's a few paints to paint everything including the heater vents. Handbrake. Decals for speakers I will put a photo of the decal sheet  :laugh:

The only things I have painted is the underside of the body black and the car body red. I have greys, silvers and blacks. I even need to paint the belts on the engine different to the block
