This is the polar light Herbie bug, I just filled in everything to make it stock again.I was going for the look of one I had several years ago.

thanks for looking.

Nice build!

[Harry P.]

Looks good! I like the cream-colored wheels with the black body, nice choice.

[VW Dave]

Very subtle and low-key; nice build!

Slug bug black! Cool little bug. Did this kit have the decals for Herbie?

[Guest]

That is sweet. How about engine pics? Railfreak, the kit comes with stickers for Herbie, no waterslide decals. I understand the need for stickers for kids, but they should have included waterslides for adults, like they did with their Star Trek USS Enterprise kits.

Russell,

Nice job on the Beetle. I built one, you managed to add the mirrors. I couldn't figure out how to add them And I wish I had shopped around for aftermarket decals instead of those pathetic stickers! At least you don't have to deal with that.

Good looking bug ..much better than "Herbie". Have any shots from the rear?

[VW Dave]

A quick tip: if you still have the molded 'sunroof' part left over from the PL kit, it fits the Tamiya '66 Beetle very well.

Very nice and clean looking bug you have there.

That's another thing, if anyone builds the PL VW, cut the tabs off the 'fabric' sunroof cover, and fill in the related holes in the roof. The part doesn't fit flush, and both are visible after completion

Nice Beetle, Russell! Very clean and realistic build. Beetles look good in any form!

Thanks for the kind comments, it was fun. Not really any detail to the engine area, Just one of those I wanted to build to replicate a car that I owned at one time.
