1968 VW Beetle (Revell 1/25th scale)

[bh1701]

Here is my 1968 VW Beetle. This is the Revell 1/25th scale kit. The model went together very well - I have to hand it to Revell-Germany for a well engineered kit. It is finished in Rustoleum 2x paint - the color is Spa Blue.

The rear engine cover hinge was the only part I omitted. I test fit it and it felt kind of stiff. I was also afraid that the paint on edges of the body and cover might get chipped in the process of opening and closing it.. So, the cover just rests in place.

Thanks,

Bart

Sounds like you have quite the collection of VW Beetles! I just have the one Beetle.

However, if you ask me about Mustangs, I have around 25-30 of those - plastic models, die cast models, Matchbox and Johnny Lightning, etc.!
