Streetle Beetle ..detail practice

[empinut]

I had spare parts from a bunch of AMT Manx kits plus a Streetle Beetle glue bomb body to save, so I decided to mash it up together and practice some super detailing to get ready for a couple of upcoming projects:

Brake lines from rear wheels to master cylinder.

Fuel lines from carbs to Moon tank.

Battery cables.

Carb linkage and accelerator cable.

Clutch cable.

Seat belts.

Magneto plug wires.

Super nice job Bill, that bug looks fantastic!!!

Nice Job! I've seen the real car in person a few years ago, and it's not been taken care of.

The only thing I would suggest is a wash on the chassis & engine to bring out the detail. A gloss black wash on chrome wheels adds some realistic depth to the chrome.
