Right now I can't remember where I put the hood. So I'm stalled until I find it.

I found the hood. After looking for it all day, I found it  in the interior stuck to a piece of tape.

 

Back to work.

I tried my best not to disturb the area around the hood, but I guess between the mods on the body and the hood it didn't line up very well. I'm getting close to having it fit with acceptable gaps. I was going to graft a Willy's split window into the back of this, but I've got the window molded in close enough now that I might as well just cut the windows into my filler piece.

HAH ! I've done that many times , sometimes not finding the part until weeks later !

It's always fun watching you do your thing !

Lookin forward to seeing this one in paint, nice transformation on an otherwise basic model. The Polar lights Herbie VW is my favorite for building a stock replica. But I remember a multiple peice body 1/24 scale kit molded in red or black that is hard to find now anybody remember the company who produced it?

It's shaping up pretty nicely. Some of the most fun projects are the ones where you just say "I'm just going to wing this and let the kit tell me how it wants to be built."

I decided not to lengthen the hood as it would be difficult to find a place for a hinge. I did decide to add the spike the older beetles had.
