1/32 Beach Buggy

[wkennerley]

Hi All, was digging through my scraps box for something and came across this beach buggy which turns out to be 1/32 scale, my current interest - I would love to rebuild it and would like to hear from anyone who can either help with a copy if the instructions for the kit or any spare parts please - also open to any suggestions for a source of wheels (1/32 VW Beetle?)

Thanks

Wayne

1/32 scale slot car wheels would be perfect for this if you're not going for exact "out of the box" rebuild.

This is the first I've seen of a dune buggy in 1/32 scale other than the Baja racing style buggy that MPC release in their "fast ones" snap together line.

It looks like your version is right-hand-drive so it's no surprise that I've never seen that kit.

Hi Blunc, I will look at slot car wheels, not too fussed about exact out the box as so much is missing gotta find an engine somewhere - The kit is by Airfix

Whether this is a street machine, or off-road buggy, nearly any 1/32 scale wheels should look appropriate.

Neat buggy, btw. Never seen one in that scale. Looks like a Bugle: http://www.dunebuggyarchives.com/decision-tree/BuggyId/?pointId-19=on

It is a Bugle. I built one a couple of years ago.

Wayne, I still have the instructions. If you want me to send you a copy let me know.

I got a set of these to put on one of my various 1/32 scale projects:

Hi All, I have instructions now thanks - Now to find bits, does the 1/32 VW Beetle have an engine?

Thanks for the wheels link Blunc

As much as I can remember, the Airfix kit did.

I built 2 of the MPC boxed version MANY years ago

Still have one of them somewhere.
