Hey guys, here's a fun little VW Vanagon I wrapped up recently. Wanted to keep that 80's look, but I just couldn't do stock height. Krylon orange, kit decals with urethane clear. antique white for the top. custom decals for seat inserts. Also has cool tv & cabinet inside. The wheels are "Orange Wheels" 3 piece 4 lug steelies.

Hm. nothing but slammed? I'm missing some detailwork like Color on the turnsignallight and sidemarkers. Looks like the decals are too thick...the "panellines", doorlines are gone...

A mistake from Revell, the mirroros are wrong, the must be changed from the left to the right.

That looks really good of a different subject!

Can I ask where you got those wheels? They are very similar to ones I'm having to practically make from some resin ones I found with the holes for a build of the '69 Bug I had with some cheap rims. I'm at the point of adding the 4 lug nuts.

Thanks Foxer, I have a little online shop that carries these. They come from Asuka Models in Japan. I am currently the only retailer in the US with them. Check them out at www.detailjunkees.com

Hi Dominik, I appreciate the criticism. Admittedly not my best work. With the endless fitment issues I was having (even the glass cracked with me trying to fit in place), it almost ended back in its box to never return. But I decided it was too cool to throw away so I just finished up as something fun. I'm glad I did.

Big thanks to everyone else for the kind words!
