Hi everyone,

I would like to share these pics with you. Just arrived from Otto!

I love hatches and this is one of my favorites (I do have a soft spot for the Mk4 R32) So when Otto announced Mk5 R32, I had to order one.

When I opened the box, I noticed that Otto had used screws to prevent the model from moving during shipping. For me this is a first time seeing Otto do this. I am wondering are they starting to copy GT Spirit their sister company. I hope they will do this more often.

The overall shape of the R32 is bang on. Nice panel lines. The paint is pretty good and deep, with no orange peel. The blue is very rich. The interior is not bad at all. The only gripe I have with Otto models is, why no seat belts? Has anyone every noticed that most Otto models do not have seat belts in their model? And I find the tint for the rear is a bit too dark. I prefer a lighter tint or no tint at all. This is just a personal preference.

I think the quality control for Otto is improving. My model had no excess glue or any imperfections.

Overall a good subject for hatch fans... Let's hope they make a Golf R soon. For the time being waiting patiently for the Focus RS.

William
Happy Collecting.
