dlh Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 My 4th model in 50 years. I owned a '62 VW bus in red and white, but it wasn't the 23 window one. The fit of the parts on this kit was amazing. It proved challenging to me though especially getting the two tone right. I would love to hear someone's secret to perfect curves in masking tape (or BMF, which was my choice for the red/white border line). I still had trouble with paint buildup near the panel line edges. (MM Fire Red). I have a Revell 1:16 Samba that I'm going to build later. I'll use regular gloss red on that one. My next model in line is a Revell BMW Isetta. I really like that weird little car. Wish I could afford a real one.
DumpyDan Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 My Dad had one in the late 60's . You did a great job, love it
dlh Posted June 28, 2017 Author Posted June 28, 2017 Superb build .....Thanks very much. I'm just a beginner. Loved the thread on your Citroen. Truly a master!Dave
iamsuperdan Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 I think your masking job turned out just fine! The whole bus looks great.
dlh Posted June 28, 2017 Author Posted June 28, 2017 I think your masking job turned out just fine! The whole bus looks great. Thanks. But it's not perfect. (I only see the flaws)
espo Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Very nice clean looking build. I wouldn't beat myself up over any paint issues, If you didn't point out what you feel are faults most people wouldn't even notice.
FabbricaP Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Great build. Looking forward to seeing the Bimmer
Mahogany Rush Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Beautiful job all around! I just picked up a Revell 23 window Samba Bus. Hope I can come close to yours.
89AKurt Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Great job! That turned out really well. It's a very nice kit, I have one in progress with some modifications. Do you wish the front VW emblem was separate?
Ballroad Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Beautiful workmanship, looks like a neat kit to build, ???
Ron Hamilton Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 that is very nice. I gotta get myself together to build one of mine.
