Erol27 46 Posted September 15 Hello all. Here's my most recent build and my first post! The VW Golf MK2 16v Rally. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking. 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisRx718 4163 Posted September 15 Very smart looking. Waiting for Tamiya to release this body as a separate item. Hopefully before Christmas! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erol27 46 Posted September 15 Cheers. Fingers crossed they will. It's a very good resemblance to the real thing but the stickers took ages to cut and get right. Good luck if you get one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisRx718 4163 Posted September 15 I made this for a colleague back in 2021. It's the L&L bodyshell so full touring-car size. Masking was a nightmare - there were hardly any stickers with the kit. The front grille didn't sit right either (you can just about tell in this photo, it lifted at the edges). Tamiya version looks much better albeit without the twin headlight setup. I'm guessing the grille is moulded into the lexan on the Tamiya one @Erol27? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sogogi 2416 Posted September 15 Lots of cool looking chassis coming out for mf-01x.. I hope they release bodies only soon! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erol27 46 Posted September 15 @ChrisRx718 that looks great and a bit more like a GTi should. Yes the grill is moulded on the Tamiya body with window masks and two sheets of stickers! I was tempted to do something different but stuck with the box art theme. I've worked up my own sticker sheet which has the TA sponsors logos as the real one had. Just looking to get them printed by someone soon. Should make it look a bit closer to the original and it needs race numbers on it to in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erol27 46 Posted September 21 Since my last post I had the idea of making my Rally Golf look more like the actual rally car I'm guessing Tamiya took inspiration from (see attached picture... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erol27 46 Posted September 21 So I created decals based on the original car and had them printed and tonight have applied them to my car. I think it makes it more realistic and certainly adds to the rally vibe which I think the original design was lacking. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
