Well NOBLING, I thought I seen in my minds eye somewhere!

Now in the completed section.

Superb colour, and how sleek it looks, well done!

Super cool! I've tried to decide how to lift a 911 for some time and you've gone and done it. Some years ago my son took his Beetle to be refurbed on the body/chassis side and there were these and various other 911's and 356's in the same workshops!

Thanks you both Tom & David. Well what I need to do (I now it's a pun) is think outside the box with custom/fantasy/unusual kits and subjects!

Thanks Carl.

Cheers Joe. Yes nice kit overall!

Cheers Hector.

Thanks guys. Yes humour is one of my talents. In everything I see and hear can be turned around, so I see the funny side. So if it is how you see it different and cool and/or amusing great, my job is done!

Cheers Chris & Bob!

Thanks BIGTRUCK.

Superb! One of my favourite kits!

Thanks Tony. Yes a neat little kit.

One of the older kits with just the car and hut, no Ed Roth figure or decals sheet. I have changed the wheels/tyres to Centrelines and covered the Tiki Hut in vertical coffee sticks and converting to a bar! With my first Surfite from 2016.. With the kit comes 3 surfboards, so I added some decals from other kits and home printed ones..

Update 19.05.22, Note: I must get a Smart Car and have it converted!

Update: finally finished and fitted the body and the Centrelines, also shown my previous Surfite build. A bit more to do on number 2, rear view side mirror, exhaust, number plate surround, windscreen wiper, plus one for the rear window (if I can find one) etc, plus decals I can find in my collection and self printed box.

Further> in my build of my Surfite 2, I have covered the Tiki Hut in coffee sticks and converted it to a bar, suitably painted, also decaled the three surfboards, from my decal collection. Also today, cutting out new clear plastic stock for both front and rear windscreens and fitting in place. The kit clear plastic strip is opaque due to it's age. The picture below shows my first Surfite with four rear wheels/tyres from a Meyers Manx kit. This is one of my many Meyers Manx kits but lowered with Centrelines, as I think I'll fit to the Surfite 2.

Cheers Paul.

Thanks guys. I'll have to look for something different to build. Ah I've got an old Surfite & Tiki Hut kit!

Thanks guys, yes the Subaru does go together very well, a joy to build each time.

Surfite & Tiki Hut 2. Started today.. Re-building the hut... Chassis... Because there are a lot of small chrome pieces I've stripped the chrome off the sprue.

Thanks Mile High Scale Modeler. No issues at all just making sure all the clear lenses put in with clear adhesive not ordinary plastic cement.

Build box stock. Painting various parts in yellow to highlight those area's. Unusually various decals came apart ,like the rear number plate, partly rescued and the front sun strip using an old Airfix strip from the decals box and Pirelli P7 tyre decals. I also made, as they aren't supplied, three clear sprue heat stretched aerials, And an alloy tube exhaust tip.

Thanks Gregory. I would go for the latest ones.

We don't see these in the UK and they are expensive to import, are they a reasonable price in the US, and are they well detailed please? If so I may get my eldest son who is in Canada to send me one.
