    Looks amazing! ?

    That engine detail and hood hinges is some next level stuff. ?

    I can remember building this kit as a kid. Back when I thought brush painting the body was a nifty way to go . I must have gotten it as a birthday present or something . I can remember asking my dad what a Mo Jave (enunciating the J )was, then he told me the correct pronunciation. That's how long ago that was. ?

    Nice. These were quite popular here in the states as well back in the 70s in hardtop and convertible form.

    I actually wired the ignition on these (although poorly lit) with Accel colored wire and photo etched looms on both engines. I used the Molotow paint on the air cleaner and valve covers. You can see my sloppy job filling in the gas cap hole with J B Weld. I guess it still needed a little more sanding. These Super Swampers are nice. I hope someone puts them out in a set again.

    I've been using this Tamiya lacquer and I'm pretty satisfied with the results. Still have to lower the back end slightly and tweak the bed to fit correctly.

    I was meaning to post these the other night. I suppose these should go in the long abandoned projects thread but it's a truck so I'll just put in here. I also did a blue street version that I posted a while ago. They both started out like this one but I stripped the paint and now here's the 4x4.

    I sent a message to that Ray, and he told me he would get those orange ones on his ebay store in time for the re-release of this kit. get ready for a big shipping fee, they come all the way from the Netherlands! ?

    Wow! Nice job on that one that tire/wheel combo looks good!
  10. Mike C.
    That would be. Wouldn't it? Thanks for the encouragement fellas!

    love that VW! I Remember seeing on similar to it a few years back at the annual WW2 weekend at Reading airport. I have since lost all those pics ☹️. Those P-51s were loud!

    Here are the biggest tires I have if I would choose to go the 4x4 route.
  13. Mike C.
    Well put
  14. Mike C.
    Looking better and better. ?

    I think I can even fit my rat motor without having to open up that hood scoop. The Chevelle buckets and console look right at home and that straight axel might work if I choose to go all out.

    pics still loading ......

    I thought I could make them out.
  18. Mike C.
    I just unboxed it. Moment of truth. My tires are actually bigger than the ones that come with the kit.

    I've been watching one on ebay that's already up near 130. 00 with a full day left. Already out of my price range. I built that one as a kid also.
  20. Mike C.
    I can already picture that in burgundy, woodgrain and a 7 Liter. ?
  21. Mike C.
    Nice!
  22. Mike C.
    Box arrived earlier today. Haven't even opened it yet. ?
  23. Mike C.
    Maybe I'll ask for one for Christmas . ?

    I do use the coat hangers and sort of hang parts from them but in some cases, you cant hang stuff. I like how that Tamiya stand sort of holds the insides of the body with what looks like spring tension.

    Thats the one. I think my local hobby lobby is a victim of the supply chain. I'm tired of the old empty spray paint can with a piece of tape that ends up falling over and destroying my paintjob method. Those things look like just the thing I need.
