OldTrucker Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 My wife bought this for me because I used to build them and the VW repair shop. the last buggy I built was long ago and I believe was a 1/20 scale kit. This was a quick fun kit to build!
espo Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Great color and very nice paint job. Very clean looking build. I would guess that having built a few 1:1's back in the day you know how they're supposed to look.
TooOld Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Sharp looking Manx and great color too ! It's not your fault but UGH . . . that windshield frame . . .

Snake45 Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Very, very nice, a super-clean build. And I noticed that you painted the lower body black, the way most of the real ones I've seen were. For some reason most of the built models I've seen of this kit paint the whole body in color. That's a nice touch on yours, and I like it! Model on!

Model on! yep, when you pulled the bodies out of the mold it wasn't a pretty sight and as rough as the glass was about the only way of hiding it was to paint it matt black. The last we built we were using a diluted rubberized undercoating pumped out of a 55 gallon barrel.
Sixties Sam Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Great build! Good colors, and the bottom is black as it should be! Sam
unclescott58 Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 Another nice Manx. Some beautiful ones have been showing up here lately.
