So I thought it's about time I start posting on this thread
Here's my latest addition to the VW 1/43 scale models collection I've been buying for the past 2 years (almost...):
This is an official, licensed by VW, collection made up of 70 of the most influential/iconic models of the german brand, and every scale model comes with an article which further explains the model's history and details, as well as the history of VW itself and its numerous brands that make VW Group.
A few quick facts about this New Beetle RSi:
- Prodution was limited to just 250 units
- It's all-wheel-drive (4Motion system)
- Engine is the famous VR6 which was used in many other high performance models of the group like the Corrado, R32, TT and A3 (Audi), producing 224 hp
- Almost all of the models were painted in metallic silver, and only a handful were painted in blue
This was scale model nº53 of 70, so I'm already more than halfway through the collection, here's a quick picture of what I have (zoom in and see if you can recognize some models!)
ATM I have them all on top of each other like that, but I want to display them properly once the collection is complete, I already bought some glass shelves and everything... it's gonna look pretty nice in the end!
I might just come here and post a few more pictures of these when I get the time, there's some really hard-to-find models in there... in the meantime, happy collecting guys!
