    Thanks Rusty. Yes it's a good kit as most Heller kits are, with good instructions as well. I always, as this one do some image research of real ones to decide the way to go!

    This is a spare body found in a recently built kit. I wanted 'Ratify it'! But being careful to add enough but not too much paint. So the body is Heller but all other parts you see come from the junk spares box!

    Same link as I posted last time you said the magazine wasn’t available overseas…it absolutely is, and a digital subscription is even cheaper (and better than trying to read a magazine thru a YouTube video)

    Thanks Jim. I made a mistake of writing it down. In fact I've found Magster so have downloaded a digital version.

    My 15 year 'Model Car' project finally completed!

    Greetings All,

    It has been a long summer.  Visiting aging parents in Florida and aging in-laws in Arizona have taken its toll.  (All are in Memory Care.)  As most of you know, it is a sad reminder that time is nobody's friend.  My one bright spot this summer is that I have finally completed my 'biggest model car project' ever.  (My wife's words, not mine.) 

    I've had this '73 beetle since 1985 and used it as a daily driver for many years.  15 years in Florida and about 6 here in Alabama.  Took it partially apart to do some 'minor work' and wound up taking it totally apart because I wanted to build it back 'My Way'.  Work, family life, and everything else got in the way, so........there it sat, in a 'million pieces'.  After 15 years of on and off work it's finally done! 

    Oh-yea...........it WILL be my daily ride again.  However, since I'm retired now, I don't have that much 'daily driving' anymore!

    That is just beautiful! Here in the UK we had five in the family, my wife and I had three over a number of years and our youngest son had two, a Cal Look black saloon, lowered with Centreline rims and a Californian import Beetle Karman Cabrio, that he ran out of cash and sold it part finished!
