ViperDave Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Lindburg made the 61 and be sure to get a later one. The first ones had problems with the hood and they had to redo the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Well, I finally picked up my Tamiya 66 Beetle kit for the build. What a beauty. It's going to almost be a shame to have to customize such a fabulous kit. Oh Well. I guess I can always get another.....somewhere.....Uh, hey Fletch? You There???? LOL! Now it's on to my own thread and massaging plastic. I finally have all of the parts I need to get started. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jairus Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 They changed the whole box art and yours is fine! The early ones were recalled for incorrect shaping of the front window glass which effected the cowel too. But the box art with the black fade on it is the good one. The boxes with the red stripe and white background are considered to be "RECALLED" by Lindberg (soon to be valueable, NOT) Not that there is that much wrong with the "bad" one. I have two and they are fine for custom projects, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Nothing...that is likely what will occupy the space between the front tires! Or maybe I'll fit a Ford powerplant under the hood...

Modlbldr Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I finally got a chance to get mine started last night while we were watching TV. I sanded all of the trim off of the body and filled all of the handle holes. Not much else beyond that, but it's a start. I would have posted pics on my own link but the batteries in the camera were dead. Got more batteries today but now I have to go help a buddy put flooring in his living room. Always something. Look for them tonight. (I hope) BTW- Fletch- Have you sent out the snail mail packages yet? Haven't seen mine yet. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
