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

Something about this build really "bugs" me! Seriously, nice build. It all really fits well together from the color to the wheels. Good job.

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.

Thanks Harry, I'll keep your suggestions in mind
