I can remember 3, Street buggy, sand buggy with 2 piece plastic sand tires, and a bodyless pan with seats and a roll bar. I MIGHT have a set of orignal instructions, I'll see if I can locate them.

I will have flyers in the Meyers Manx kit.
I will get first shot at them.
I will be doing a feature with Bruce Meyers also just before the release of the kit.
I will let everyone know more as the release date is known for sure.
There has been tooling/parts issues along the way.

Gregg, Bruce and Winnie are some of the best people you will ever meet, and Bruce has great stories. I'm sure that interview will be funn to do.

Hmmm... Four builds means I'll need to buy four kits..... to start with. :)


I really hope this kit doesn't fade before release like some others have.

Hello to everyone,

I am back to modelmaking after many many years and I love the VW bugs, my first driving experience( and my first crash at 14 years of age) and my first own car (an oval with hydraulic brakes).

I ,would like to start the building of a Hasegawa 1966 beetle. I would like to know if empinut could help me with the rubber-chrome for windows.

Thanks to all for a great forum.
