Revell 1:16 1962 VW Samba bus


Recommended Posts

The latest from my bench.   Bought this kit 10 or so years ago and finally got around to it.  Nice kit overall, but operating doors are kinda tedious.  Unfortunately I broke the hinge on the driver side door so closed it with a drop of clear enamel.   It went together well for a multi piece body.   Built box stock except for radio antenna.  Colors are Testors light yellow enamel and Model Master classic white sprayed with my trusty Paasche VL.    I am happy with how it came out overall.  As always, comments/critiques welcome.IMG_8326M.jpg.b4514d3de3f687d47303c5772e2a68c8.jpg

Bright! and put together right. I've looked at this kit many times, but I worry about the multi piece body.  Great build.

This is a good kit.  It does go together well.  The worst part is getting the doors to fit,  they gave it a bit of extra material on them.  You just gotta take your time and test fit everything several times.  I would recommend this kit.
