Bartster Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 If you took away the roof rack, board, Fuchs, & SOME of the rust, it looks like my 1st daily driver circa 1978!!! Groovy dude!!! But don't cuz it looks way cooler like this!
Zarana-X Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Awesome work on a horrible kit. I've built a few of these, and you did an amazing job with what the kit had to offer. Unfourtunately, this is the part where I have to be a dick. Beetle roofracks generally have have 6 legs, yours should have a pair in the middle, which clamps to the driprails. You used the front turn signals for the taillamps, If I remember, they did this on the boxart, too. Also those fenders would be fiberglass with those flares. No offense intended, I just know the subject matter, and offering some things to look out for.
Dr. Cranky Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Doctor Cranky and EYEGORE like it. Very nice, loaded with all sorts of cool details. Thank you.

Yes, it's a horrible kit, but I kinda felt sorry for it and wanted to give it a good home! I did wonder about the tail lights...but as I had no alternative, I used what I could. As for the roofrack supports, I know the majority of racks have 6 legs, but some do not: I'd like to do a similar treatment of either the Hasegawa or Tamiya kits. When I do, I promise to give the rack 6 legs!
carro Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Definitely one of the coolest built bugs I've seen!
