250 Testa Rossa Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I had a bit of inspiration on this build that has been holding everything up. When I saw how easy building a US '69 bug from the two new Revell kits would be, including more accurate and very well detailed right out of the box, I began thinking I should abandon this attempt and go with the Revell for building my 1:1. I was just so hesitant to throw all I did here away. But last week I got the 1949 Volkswagen Split-Window Sunroof Sedan Resin Conversion kit from Best Model Car Parts. This is an amazing casting and uses the Tamiya 66 Bug as the donor. That started me thinking again about using the new Revell kits to do my 1:1. I could then use the Tamiya kit I've been using here to supply the Split Window with a chassis! I thing this has been decided in my mind but still need to argue with my fixation about not abandoning anything I've done already. ... stay tuned Go for it!
