Hi Patrick! Nice VW's, all of them! I am impressed by the orange Manx, with Rockstar stickers on the side and a board on top... The "altitude adjustment" looks very nice to my eye. Gotta be carefull with the tires rubbing against the body, however... CT

The Orange Manx has the tops of the wings cut out to let the air out at top speed, having been to Le Mans seeing the top class sports car teams using that method to stop the air pressure under the wings at speed to stop them taking off, not that the Manx would! Another view below. The decals are home printed as is the surfboard home made from a plaster cast. Oh and just finishing this off.. Edited May 29, 2021 by PatW

Those are notions in aerodynamics that I will try to put to good use in one of my upcoming Bonneville cars. I ignored that. One learns things everyday, as they say! CT

Love that B4 Audi 80! Where did you get that from? I had one in the same colour up until a few years ago, what an awesome car. Nice build there by the way!

Probably one of the first builds I did when I got back into the hobby 10 years ago or so. Couldn't tell you where I found it! It builds up okay. Would like to find another and do a better job this time.
Misha Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Finished a long stalled build thanks to a recent B.O.Y.D. thread. It’s the first completion from a large selection of Porsche kits in the stash. Learned a lot about body detail painting, especially the black trim, so hoping to accomplish a better finish by airbrushing rather than the ole brush method.

Fat Brian Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 This is my Revell Beetle done for the Peking to Paris group build a couple years ago.
David G. Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) There are some really fantastic builds here! Here's my set of Volksies. First is Revell's VW Bus which I built in 2010. Next is the Meyers Manx built in 2012. I just realized that I never posted a thread for this on on the MCM forum, maybe I should do that. Here is Revell's 1968 Beetle which I finished in 2018. Just to be different, I decided to make use of Revell's option to build it as a right-hand driver. I made some 1968 era New South Wales number plates and an "AUS" bumper badge. And finally, finished in 2020, the LuftWagen! The decals are from a WWII era Junkers Ju 87 and the engine is from a Focke_Wulf Ta 154 Moskito, also WWII era, and the nose is from a 1937 Cord. Obviously, this build is not meant to be taken too seriously. Thanks for taking a look. David G. Edited July 8, 2021 by David G. typo
