Hello

I want to share this model with you also. This is Australian made and quite rare car called Country Buggy.

I used as much parts from different VW kit as possible, but I also had to scratch built a LOT.

Very nice! First time for me also. It looks a lot like the VW Thing imported in the US in 1973 and 1974. I once owned an orange one and it was a fun ride. Nice job on the detail work on yours.

As this is a family-friendly board, I can't post what I said when I first saw this. :D Awesome job on such an offbeat VW! I would love a resin copy if it were available.

That's amazing!

The head and tail lights look very realistic. What's the source for them?

Thank you! Well, headlights do come from Tamiya 1300 Beetle. I just painted those frames black. About taillights... They come from polystyrene. I scratch built those.

This car isn't VW Thing, or Type 181. Please Google Country Buggy and you'll get tons of pictures about this rare car!

Excellent job, as always. This is near perfection, but if possible-it looks better in Live.

You have to show Jopo and Tunturi also ;) . I guess that Americans haven't ever seen those in any scale.
