Paint Is Average But Consistent Throughout
The second of two 鈥榩ocket rockets鈥?is the original Volkswagen Mark 1 Golf GTI. This iconic hot hatch set the stage for many followers today, now on the heels of the seventh generation the Golf GTI has established it self as premier hot hatch, pushing forward innovation, and all around best in class. The model we have here is the special edition Golf GTI commissioned by Modellissimo and manufactured by Norev, and is limited to 1000 units worldwide. Basically what we have here is the same mould used back in the day from Solido and SunStar, I really see no difference between them except for the packaging. Overall the essence of the 1:1 is captured here, but it isn鈥檛 quite perfect. Back half of the car is slightly too short and overall roof line is slightly too high. These are minor issues that can be easily over looked. Paint is average but consistent throughout. The black trim works and mimics the 1:1 well but is slightly thin in areas where the trim should be wider. As the original SunStar and Solido model the rear hatch is sealed.
And we have the infamous half window too on both driver and passenger side. Wheels are steelies and of the period. I personally love the basic no nonsense look, which are replicated well. Don鈥檛 see much in brake and suspension bits due the solid steel rims. Again the execution is identical to the original release by SunStar and Solid. Surprisingly the motor exceeds expectations, it is very good. Capturing the 1:1 well and going that extra mile in finer detail with a lot painted bit and detail. The shock towers are executed very nicely. The motor is where the best overall detail is on the model without a doubt. The only negative are the two HUGE hinges used in the hood operation. Man they are large! Again no difference here when comparing to the original release by SunStar and Solid. Interior is to the period as well. Checked patterned fabric on the seats and the traditional golf ball style shifter knob are both present. Overall nicely appointed, but I wish Norev would have went the extra mile and dressed up the interior just little bit more. This iconic car deserves more and I know for a fact many of these are cars still be driven and modified by countless generations of Volkswagen fans. If you鈥檙e a Volkswagen fan this car is a must! If you鈥檙e a current owner of Solido or SunStar there is absolutely no reason to buy it, from what I gather the cars are identical. Actually only reason I purchased the model for myself was that my Soldio version I had had a slight paint issue on the roof. 50CND. Rumours are of a Welly version in the near future, let鈥檚 hope they go that extra step and produce a Mark 1 Golf GTI deserving of the Volkswagen badge.
