Eero Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) This build is one of my numerous VW Beetle based models. I used mainly Tamiya kit but I also took some parts from Mr Hobby kit. Whole bed is scratch built. I tried to create a look how these kind of little pickups were in Finland at 50's and 60's. So there isn't much luxury. That logo in the door is creation of my own imagination. It says "Fruits and vegetables of Karapolvi" ...Karapolvi is my home address.

Randy Kern Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Wow, what a cool model! That turned out beautiful. Great work, and sanitary clean building. This would make a neat resin kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffs396 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Got excited when I saw your title expecting a water-cooled VW pickup based on the AMT Rabbit, but your air-cooled is very nice! Welcome to the site BTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cole Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Eero, nice job on the BugBed! Here is some 1:1 bug pickups in various forms: I probably have more... but I don't know what the photo limit is here. That build of yours is so smirk! I want to add it to my "Models-Misc" file!

VW Dave Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Very clean and imaginative build...it looks 'right' as you've done it, like a factory job. I really like the engine access panel(with Bus handle), tailgate logo, and the rear fender stoneguards.
