VW Dave Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 How long overdue is a proper 1/24-1/25 Baja bug model.....only like forever, right? Well, the wait might just be over, thanks to a certain MD-based resin caster. Sometime in September is the proposed release date, and the pricing is still TBD, but the pre-production pieces I have in hand tell me it's gonna be a winner. I can answer most questions about it, but all inquiries/feedback/pre-order pleas should be sent to normanveber@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale W. Verts Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Any chance for a wide-eye version? Not complaining, but I like them better. GREAT, by the way. I WILL be building one (some) of these! Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Dave Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 No chance of a wide-eye from RepMinCo, unfortunately. I may, however, have a spare Revell-based resin wide-eye body that I wouldn't miss, Dale.....PM or email me: plasticman1432@gmail.com If anyone is seriously considering this body kit from Norm, please drop him a line so he knows the demand is there.

Ron Hamilton Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I saw Norm Today, as well as the car, and placed my order. It's that good. Now I need to find a set of tires and wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubaja Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Would people want a set of wheels and tires cast specifically for this? I was using the Jeep wagon wheels and big and little knobbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FASTBACK340 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I almost died several times in a `68 swing-axle Baja back in the 80's. I loved that car. I must build one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanFordF1 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Paint it yellow and black and I'll have my old '67 back. I'm for the wide-eye front too but I'd be on board for buying this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale W. Verts Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) I've visited with Norm via email (great guy, seems like). Does he have a website? Dale Edited August 9, 2014 by Dale W. Verts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter31a Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 No, he does not have a website. If you've already corresponded via e-mail, send him a note requesting his current catalogue. He is great to deal with and has his hands full trying to fill orders as it is without having a website. There are some fotki sites with pics of some of his parts. You'll have to do a google search to find them or someone might post a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
