rmvw guy Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Finally finished this one! Had a few problems, engine was not cooperating. Paint is Testors Gloss Yellow in a can and red Dupli-Color. I didn't like the kit tires or wheels. I painted the kit wheels and added upholstery nails for hubcaps (Thanks VW Dave). I went to a single gauge on the dash so it would be simple like a VW. This was a month long build for me for some reason, I stalled several times on it and a vacation break in the middle. Next one might go faster I hope and it will be an all out Dune Buggy! Thanks for looking. Edited August 10, 2012 by rmvw guy

rmvw guy Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Sorry, looks like I am having as many problems with this computer as I did with the model. I think it's the super glue maybe on my fingers, or sticky keys. Edited August 10, 2012 by rmvw guy
espo Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Turned out great. This is closer to how most of these looked when some guy at home had an old VW and a basic tool box to work with. Very nice.
Sixties Sam Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Cool! I like the yellow and red. The red pipes are a nice touch. Sam Edited August 10, 2012 by Sixties Sam
cobraman Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 You did a nice job with the kit. Your going to build another ? Your a brave soul. One was more than enough for me.
Foxer Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Good looking .. even the tail light seals in place!
TooOld Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I think it looks great ! A real daily driver ! Don't feel bad , for such a simple little kit , this thing can drive a person nuts ! Does anyone else hate the tiny taillights in this kit ?
rmvw guy Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Thanks for all the comments guys! I did mention I would build another but, I didn't say when. As far as the tail lights go, I like them only I wish the lenses were a little more detailed. Thanks for looking. Edited August 12, 2012 by rmvw guy
