Tamiya 66 Bug - FINISHED

[cherokeered]

I just finished a Tamiya 66 Bug. This kit went together really nice....Always like the detail and fit of Tamiya. I used wheels from a Revell C6 Corvette, lowered the suspension and built a custom stinger exhaust. I also added some carbon fiber accents to the engine.

Very cool, one of my favorite kits!

Don't know if it's Cal Look or German touring look but either way it's one fine Beetle. Great work!

Looks great - I like models that are hard to categorize! Nice combination of wheels and paint and the carbon fiber decals are cool in the engine compartment.

I like it a bunch! A nice blend of German look and resto, and the carbon fiber is a nice touch too. The left rear tire is on backwards, however....

That is awesome! I have to get one of those kits.

Very cool! Nice color for a bug too. I definitely need to get one of those kits myself.

That is one kit I've been wanting to get...nicely done!

Good catch...I'll have to fix that!

Better replace that single port engine with something bigger!

Thanks! I just used a Valspar rattle can paint I found at Walmart....it was called Exotic Sea. Couldn't find anything close to it in Testors or Tamiya so I went with the Valspar. It came out ok. Still some orange peel even after clearing and wetsanding/polishing but not that bad.

That is nice work.
