I'd like to see one of these 1:1 some day. That is a good looking model.

I'm looking forward to the finished article. I've seen a few of these over the last 50 years and this looks good with either set of wheels.

The final product can be found in the Under Glass section.

This is really cool. I'm liking it a lot.

Can you elaborate a bit on the inaccuracies of the Revell kit body? I don't know much about the Beetle, so it looks OK to me. Is it something that can be corrected?

Your model looks very cool!

It's not too inaccurate for a plastic kit, just a lot of flash, poorly scribed lines and some mismatched panels from the mold. Nothing that can't be remedied with a bit of work.

Thanks for the compliment!

Plus for a Hebmuller build, all of the Revell VW Bug kits, the old Revell US 68 Bug sedan and convertible kits and the recent release Revell of Germany '68 sedan and convertible kits are nearly 20 years worth of minor changes different from the early 50s Hebmullers. This build is cool and the builder has recognized that it's inaccurate for a proper Heb. It's cool anyway.
