1966 VW Beetle Van Completed

[Joe Lange]

Greetings All and a Very Merry Christmas!

Just completed the '66 VW last night.  Please check out build pics in the WIP section.  Can't wait to get this thing in a display case.  Keeping the dust off this thing is a PIA!

Hope you enjoy the photos!

[Tom Geiger]

That is PDC! (Pretty darn cool!)

That's an interesting build. VW never built anything like that, did they? After all they had the VW Bus.

Hi Mike,

During WW2, Dr. Porsche designed one, but it wasn't very practicable because of the tall engine.  By 1949 plans for the Type 2, Bus/Transporter, were well underway.

Thanks for the comment.   

[Joe Lange]

Thanks for all the complements, guys!

Mario, This is about as close to a 'Kit' as you will probably get for this one.  Chris from 'C1 Models' in the UK supplied the body and other bits, (see the website), and you'll need a Tamiya 1966 VW Beetle kit.  His castings are very clean and accurate.  See my WIP photos.

Extremely cool and well executed. I have always been a VW fan especially of of VW vans and this is maybe the neatest one I have seen.
