dlh Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 My 4th model in 50 years. I owned a '62 VW bus in red and white, but it wasn't the 23 window one. The fit of the parts on this kit was amazing. It proved challenging to me though especially getting the two tone right. I would love to hear someone's secret to perfect curves in masking tape (or BMF, which was my choice for the red/white border line). I still had trouble with paint buildup near the panel line edges. (MM Fire Red). I have a Revell 1:16 Samba that I'm going to build later. I'll use regular gloss red on that one. My next model in line is a Revell BMW Isetta. I really like that weird little car. Wish I could afford a real one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Very nice clean looking build. I wouldn't beat myself up over any paint issues, If you didn't point out what you feel are faults most people wouldn't even notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Great job! That turned out really well. It's a very nice kit, I have one in progress with some modifications. Do you wish the front VW emblem was separate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
