I went to the local hobby shop and bought the Tamiya 66 VW Beatle model, a clear blue spray can, testors wood color paint, semi-gloss white paint, chrome foil and a Tamiya wax kit. I still need to find a good price on a polishing kit (that will ship to Canada).
My plan is to do the blue exterior and have the interior white with wood/aluminum accents. I'm not too picky on keeping colors overly authentic.
