empinut Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Airtrax Resin Body, bumpers and door panels. BRM white metal wheels from Dennis Chung ( no longer available). Engine tin and sheet metal scratchbuilt. Back seat rear area scratchbuilt. Engine from Hasegawa, chassis and front suspension from Tamiya Ghia. Trans and rear suspension scratchbuilt from early Pyro Bug. Blue is a Tamiya AS medium blue clear coated. Photoetch wipers, nose emblem and rear lid button. Many hours prepping the resin body and bumpers as pinholes would pop up at every turn. Thanks for looking, comments. Edited March 23, 2014 by empinut
cobraman Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 That's a cool one you just don't see very often.
Foxer Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I pretty rare VW, especially in model form. Came out looking great!
Chromecop Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 really awesome build!!! Great job on a great car!
peter31a Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Love the Type 3's and you did a fantastic job of building this one. Kudos!
ningoth4 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Looks great!!! Love the stance. Turned out really nicely. The BRM's look perfect on this car. Kevin
empinut Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 Thank you for all of the kind words and nice comments! I'm the final stages of finishing the AirTrax T3 Notchback. Pics up soon. Thanks again.
Zarana-X Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Nice work! makes me wish I had the money and patience for a resin kit. Coincidentally, it looks just like the last two I've seen. Saw one on an auto transporter in Fontana, and some guy in my city has one. Always see him in the early morning on the way to work.
Tom Geiger Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Very cool model, I've always liked those. Back when I was a kid and lived on an army post in Germany, our next door neighbor had one of those!
PatW Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Well done empinut, superb build, thanks for sharing!
