I have been checking out the new Revell Samba VW Bus and I am liking it more and more, I have not purchased one yet but now I will since I started playing around with these Pegasus sleeves and Revell Porsche rims from an old build.....

As you can see, I had to patiently sand off the rims to get them to fit behind the sleeves just as I did for my recent Vega build, these required lots of sanding but the results are truly nice, once I finish sanding the rest, I will Alclad them in chrome and install them later!!

This is the Revell kit I took the rims from. I am using the Fujimi 23 window kit just to have an idea how they will look on the Revell kit once I purchase it, I used the tires from a Fujimi Trueno kit and they fit perfect on these sleeves!

I don't know how long this is going to take me to complete, I have to build a '41 Willys kit for a friend before I decide on this one so hopefully I will finish it soon. I am not the type of builder that can have 2 projects going at the same time but I might just make an exception here, the Willys project is a simple one, pretty much an out of the box build
