Tamiya 1966 V.w Beetle 1300

yes the paint really does seem like a nice match for what i remember of VW blue back in those days!

Thanks, it should be a good match, as I had the paint mixed up, it's VW L360 Sea Blue.

Headlamps, front Indicators and Bumper Fitted, number plates were done frst by covering them in BMF, then using a small cotton bud, rubbed the VW logo and badge with lacquer thinners.

Rear lamps were first masked off then painted body colour, then re-masked and painted clear orange, then masked again and painted clear red, because the way Tamiya moulded them as one unit, not there best idea, it would have been a lot simpler if they had made the lamp lenses as seperate parts
