VW Hebmuller tribute

[restoman]

I used a Revell Convertible kit as the basis.

Lots and lots of filing, filling and sanding to get the body in any kind of shape, before the scratch building began, but I'm pleased with how it turned out. Lots of things I could have/should have done differently but it is what it is and it's ready for the cabinet. 

Comments always welcome!

That looks terrific! Somebody should have kitted one of those by now but we still get to see one through your excellent work.

[ChrisR]

Awesome!

[Funkychiken]

It's a beaut!

[peekay]

I REALLY like that!

[vintagercr]

Very nice work!

[afx]

I followed the build thread Mike - turned out great.

[TooOld]

Now that looks really cool !  Things always go wrong when doing a project like this but I'd say it turned out great ! 

[Foxer]

You did a great job on that!

[webestang]

Very nice build! Love the two-tone. 

[FordRodnKustom]

Beauty! Like that a lot. Well done.

[PatW]

Just superb!

[Atmobil]

Looks really good, I guess if the factory had not burned down so early we might have had some Heb's looking a bit like that in real life aswell.

[Snake45]

Never seen one of those before, real or model. Very interesting and very well done! 

[DustyMojave]

Good job of adapting the later style bodywork to the Hebmuller style.

[Mahogany Rush]

Really nice!

I've never been a big fan of the Hebmuller cabriolets. But, I do like your take on it. Very nice. 

[restoman]

Thanks for all the compliments!

This was fun to do. 

I've been a 1;1 Beetle owner since '94 and have repaired/restored literally dozens of the air-cooled wonders. It's always been in the back of my mind to build one of these - full scale - but this is likely as close as I'll get to that plan.

Thanks again!
