Antikainen Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Someone on this forum mentioned that he would like to see more of my VW`s so here is one: I did this a while ago, Mr Model / Gunze Sangyo Karmann - Ghia. I did it in kinda sixties- custom / lowrider style I quess. Pegasus wheels and stock hubcaps, lowered to the max. I painted it with Tamiya lime green pearl over silver leaf base. Final layers were made with Tamiya clear. Rear glass and rear quarter vindows were cast as a same clear part with top. I didn´t want to go with clear top so I sprayed few mist coats of lime green pearl to top. Top is now supposed to look like tinted plexiglass custom top on a convertible. Oh, and those nice spun aluminium mirrors are from Mr. Modeller, Brazil. Thanks for looking these pics, comments are welcomed as always. Jarkko Quote
Shardik Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I love the Ghias, and youve built a nice one here. Nothing about it really says '60s though. Quote

Chromecop Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Awesome looking Ghia, well done! However, to me...with those taillights, it looks more lika a pre 1970 Ghia. I'm really not an expert though..... Quote
