Looks great. Very clean work.

My only suggestions would be, the grab handles are rubber and should match the upholstery. and maybe finish the moulding on the bumpers and the body. like so:

It looks like it would be a daunting task, though.

Really good looking build there!

Do they call these Kombi's down there? Just curious because I learned to drive om my Dad's '56 Kombi which had the rear side windows filled. This is a 23 Window Samba version I always thought. Looking on the Net I guess every VW Type 2 gets called a Kombi at some point. Go figure ...

This is what I call a Kombi ...

Thanks guys for all the positive comments :)

Mike all VW Wagons are called Kombis down here. When i saw the model in the shop and saw it was called a "samba bus" i thought thats weird never knew they were called that lol

There was one sold at auction here a few months back for $202,000 AU. Cant get over the money they go for now

Well done! Wish I hadn't traded mine off. I had 2, Hasagawas and Revells full detail kit.
