niteowl7710 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) B is for Belgium, E is for Spain aka "EspaƱa". Edit - I see as I was looking this up, 2 other people already came up with the correct answers. In which case let me be the 3rd to affirm the correctness...

Rob Hall Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) The other goofy one is CH for Switzerland. Always wondered about that, it's for the Latin name of the country Confoederatio Helvetica (Swiss Confederation). I have the CH stamp on my passport from a trip a few years ago.

GeeBee Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Interior side pane. Check out the seat belts. Not hanging from B pillar, but A for effort. Where do you think they should be ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I have the sedan kit, anyone know what clear parts 144, 152,135,and 129 are? The look like police bubble lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, those are lights for the roof, a police version will be on the cards very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Lee- not only are there unused dome flasher lenses, but check out the inside of the roof- it's full of flashed-over holes, which are covered by the separate headliner. Expect more from this tooling. (Note that last sentence is little more than an educated guess on my part. ) I'm finally getting around to working on this kit, and I will say my one big disappointment is the tires. Not just the blank sidewalls, but the ones in my kit are really poorly molded. BUT- I robbed some of the old skinnny, hollow Firestones from AMT (they're in the Bill Jenkins Grumpy Toy '66 Nova and most versions of the '49 Merc among others), and they fit the kit wheels pretty well. If you have a set of these, notice that one bead is a bit thicker than the other- slip the tires over the wheels with the thicker bead facing out, so the outward-facing part of the wheel will fit nice and flush with the bead of the tire. The AMT Firestones are a very nice alternative to the kit tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifster Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 My Dad had a '68 Beetle, so seeing the parts in the sedan is disappointing. To recreate his car, I'd need the sedan, the convertible and maybe Tamiya's '66 sedan. But the bumpers and tail lights in the '70 are a must.

jeffs396 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The box art for the cabrio shows a Super Beetle, is that what's really in the box? Has there ever been a Super kitted? The Aoshima 1303s Beetle has a Super on the box as well, but I understand its not a Super either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
