here is my only model
a mk1 golf gti

[The_Hawk]

Saw a Mk3 VR6 at the hobby shop and was really really tempted to get it.

I ordered in the Fujimi plastic Mk3, which the local place managed to stuff up, so I ended up with the GTi instead. Will build that up and see how it goes. Considering I want to build it as close to my VR6 as possible and because I have no badges, it should work OK.

I have a 1:18 Mk4 die cast, wouldn't mind a Mk3 variant too, but we will see what I can find.

Here's one for the enthusiast:

1/18 scale Volkswagen Golf V Zender GT, diecast model car by Norev. This is a great looking model with very good paint finish, opening doors, tinted windows, detailed interior, opening bonnet, opening rear tailgate, detailed engine bay, steerable front wheels, mag wheels and low profile tyres.

All for only AUD$139.00 (US$121.63)!

I recieved my VWA models last week. Must get some pics. Mk5 TDI and an R32 to go with my GTI. Excellent quality!

I would like a 1:18 scale Mk 3 VR6.

Good luck with that, there is a plastic model kit by Fujimi:

I ordered it in at the local hobby shop and ended up with a MK3 GTI kit instead, which will tide me over in the meantime while I try to hunt up a VR6 one.

As for a die cast model, I would love to find a 1:18 die cast Mk3 in any variant, but it seems they just don't exist. MK4's yes (which I have), but no Mk3's.
(on a side note, the Mk4 "GTI" has a 1.9TDI under the bonnet for some reason )

[fuzion]

There used to be a shop near the corner of Elizabeth and Flinders Lane, Melbourne (I think). Used to sell model cars like these. Wouldn't mind picking up a Mk5 (for my nephew of course!)

Anyone know the shop?

[RhysQ]

Is it the one across the river from the crown casino and right next to/under the train lines? The one I am thinking of of is a short walk down the road from the train station in a small group of very old shops. I think some of the other shops were like a knitting/sewing shop and another was a CD shop??

If it's that one, I went in there a few years ago when I was down that way and was very imressed with the stock. I'm pretty sure last time I was down there it was closed down.

EDIT: Oh wait!! I know... there is another one that is actually attached to the Flinders street station building, or a building very close by. You have to walk down a set of stairs to underneath the building where the hobby shop is....is that it??
