Audi Quattro
« on: May 23, 2012, 01:18:21 PM »
I recently painted an Audi Quattro. The car is a M.C. toys model which (if I'm not mistaken) represents a 1983 Quattro. I repainted it in red. The scale is 1:58, which is approximately the right size for 28mm. Please tell me what you think!
Cheers

We'll take the Quattro.

Very nice! Was that an eBay purchase?

Well, not eBay, but I believe I bought it on markplaats.nl, which is kind of the Dutch version of eBay. And thanks for commenting.

I wonder how a high-gloss varnish would look.

Well, it looks like this.  ;)
I just varnished it, and I think it looks better now!

Thanks all!

I based it on that one, yes, but I didn't put all of the details of the real version in my model, so the four metal Audi rings on the front and the number were excluded.
