Limeyglue Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Just finished up my AWB Beetle. Painted in pearl white base with metallic red on the wings with racing blue and clear red over light gunmetal grey on the roof and hood. Its an old Union kit so the chassis is not the best. I've added some ladder bars from my spares box and made a new pitman arm and linkage rod as the kit one is horrible. Thanks for looking Lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jphillips1970 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 That is just cool - I had one of those kits but went by the wayside when the kids got a hold of it - Haven't been able to locate another one since then - outstanding build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
