Is There A Baja Bug Kit with a Roof?

[oldcarfan]

I came across this guy on Reels and now I want to build a Baja Buggy racer with the removable top. I remember the AMT and Revell kits were rereleased a few years ago, but I don't have one yet. Do any of the releases come with a top?

The AMT Meyers Manx kit includes a top like that.

Baja Bug is a whole different thing; that term generally refers to a Beetle with truncated front and rear ends, exposed engine, and vestigal fenders.

There is VW Beatles like that but the top doesn’t come off except for Meyers Manx…. Check eBay…

The recent AMT kit #1320 has the hardtop included.

Some info about the Revell "Empi" Dune Buggy.

You know, it's funny, I remembered that as soon as I typed it and meant to go in and edit and then got distracted by the next shiny object and forgot. Thanks!
