Tamiya beetle 1966

[happy grumpy]

Beetles have a special place in my heart, I have several builds of them. This one is the excellent Tamiya kit in bright yellow, it is fairly close to the one I owned back in 1979, although a 1969 with the full bumpers, the color is pretty close to the one I had. Alas almost all the pictures I had from my first cars are gone. I had a lot of pleasure with this car.

Nice looking bug Mario.  Years ago my father-in-law owned and operated a garage called Arrow Engine Service.  He specialized in Volkswagen's but worked on domestic cars as well.  I had a 1972 Super Beatle back then.

Great job on the VW Mario. ? Like Bob, I had a few Beatles too and my Wife before we met had a '68 Convertable.

Very cleanly detailed looking. Great paint , but the attention to all of the little trim is what I first noticed. I have only owned one Type 1, a '67 with the metal sunroof that I made into a Baja Buggy since the right front tire was almost in the front seat when I bought it. I think you have to have owned one to begin to understand what they are about.

Super nice job on that Bug! Very fond of the VW Bug. My first car was a 71 Super Beetle.

Great model! Funny thing that I never owned a Beetle.. don’t know why!  My father had a red one as his scoot around post car when we lived in Germany back 1969-72

Really nice. I owned 3 VW Bugs in my lifetime. 2 with sunroofs and one convertible. Wish I had them now.
