OldTrucker Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 My wife bought this for me because I used to build them and the VW repair shop. the last buggy I built was long ago and I believe was a 1/20 scale kit. This was a quick fun kit to build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Great color and very nice paint job. Very clean looking build. I would guess that having built a few 1:1's back in the day you know how they're supposed to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Very, very nice, a super-clean build. And I noticed that you painted the lower body black, the way most of the real ones I've seen were. For some reason most of the built models I've seen of this kit paint the whole body in color. That's a nice touch on yours, and I like it! Model on!

Model on! yep, when you pulled the bodies out of the mold it wasn't a pretty sight and as rough as the glass was about the only way of hiding it was to paint it matt black. The last we built we were using a diluted rubberized undercoating pumped out of a 55 gallon barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
