VW Pink Power

[Reuhkapelti]

Hello! This time I introduse to you this VW Beetle. I built it by using only the parts that are in the original box. The turbo, exhaust and intake pipes are made of the part frames (or what are they called?) I bent them with a candle.

Also the wheels and tires are from the same box ( Union Memorial Collections) including also 426 Hemi engine, big wheels etc.

The blue decals came elsewhere (some plumming company van) I cut them in pieces so they could be placed better over the round shaped body. 

Thanks for looking!

That is a wild Turbo/intake setup.

Killer paint!

How wide are the back tires?

Nicely done.

Ismo the model parts come on "parts trees or sprue",  very nice work on the VW, original thinking...

Excellent work!

It reminds me of the ones I used to see featured in the VW magazines in the 80s.
