1963 Karmann Ghia

[Ajay]

i suppose I could have built the Tamiya version for an easy life but I saw this one cheap on ebay. It's the Mr Hobby/GSI kit and it fought me all the way to completion.!. It's basically OOB except for lowering and using Replicas & Minatures tires. Colour is Zero Paints Ford Olympic Blue.

Thanks for looking

Andy

Very nice. I would like a convertible version of this.

I built this Gunze kit a few years ago and it was a bit of a challenge but with patience produces a nice looking curbside of this classic VW.

What I liked about the model was that the hardtop is removable thus creating the rarer convertible version of the Ghia. The vinyl folden tonneau cover doesn't quite have the shape right but that flaw can be easily ignored.

I wish this Gunze line of curbside sports cars would be reissued although I'd prefer it if all the interior elements would be cast in hard plastic rather then vinyl.
