krishna.iskandana Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hi, This is an old revell kit, VW beetle cabriolet, painted with tamiya metallic green. The wheels are lamborghini murcielago's original wheels and the other additional is a set of resin discbrakes. I had to sacrifice the engine to accomodate the new rear axles so the ride is lower. Let me know what you think and thanks for looking. Regards Krishna Iskandana Perth, WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Something about this build really "bugs" me! Seriously, nice build. It all really fits well together from the color to the wheels. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewCfromSC Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Looks really clean! Nice green color too. What are the wheels from? I likes VWs! Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I have a couple of suggestions: Paint the sunvisors white to match the interior upholstery, not body color metallic green. And I'd paint the VW logo on the hood silver. Also, even though you left out the engine, I'd still add tailpipes... the cutouts where they are supposed to be poking out of look very lonely... The wheels look good, they give the car a nice custom look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
