I'm enjoying photographing some of my old models that were completed decades before the digital photography age.

This model was completed in the late '70s, mildly modified from a 1/25 Strombecker Scarab kit.  I was following an article in a sportscar book about one of the original Scarabs that had been modified into a street version back in the day. Mods included the hood scoop and the polished exhaust. 

I do have an original unbuilt kit that I intend to build into the original race version one day soon.

Hi Cliff,  the Scarab looks great, nice build, build.  I tried to pick one up on EBay a few years back but could never win one.

Very nice, Clifford. That car is something of a "holy grail" for many of us. Would love to have one myself. So far I just have white metal versions of the wheels. ?
