majel Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 This is my rendition of the Tamiya 1966 Volkswagen. I built it strictly out of the box, it's a great little kit. My only regret is that I didn't take any pictures of the interior before installing the body. The interior is two tone; Tamiya Buff and body color. The body was painted with original Volkswagen paint. According to the paint can the color is Olympia Blue. Right now we're getting rain on the left coast so I couldn't get any outside pictures. The color appears darker on the camera than it is in person. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Now that's a good looking Bug Jim. Great looking color. It reminds me of the shop my Fater in-law use to run. He loved the VW's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
