Fancy a 1:18 Polo G40?
« on: December 06, 2013, 10:08:54 pm »
Well, you're in luck.







It's made of resin, not metal, so the doors don't open etc. But it's a good, accurate, well-proportioned model.

There are, however, only 1,500 being made. The link's here:

these look ace, they've also said on the otto forums they're doing a red and a green later on.

Be careful buying direct from otto a few people have had problems buying direct from them. There is a thread on the corrado forum about them. There is a reseller and weirdly they seem a lot better to deal with.

Shame they aren't doing black, white or grey.

The Neo 1:43 scale ones are nice, but they're almost as expensive as the Otto one and I've already got a Schabak so I'm giving those a miss. I've taken a chance on ordering from Otto as well, as the resellers tend to add quite a mark up.

It's here, and it's stunning!

Incredibly detailed, even comes with spare badges in case you want to repaint it.

Can I ask, are all the trims etc easily removable?. Is it like UT/Autoarts where you can just unscrew underneath and drop the interior out?... I'm wanting one but would like to paint it up red.

Have yet to own an Otto so help would be appreciated!

I haven't dismantled it yet but it looks like the interior and floor pan unscrew fairly easily and bits pop off without too much trouble. Plenty of modified Otto Models about.

Id start of with a 65mm pulley and a remap before unbolting the floor pan, small steps first
