Tony T Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Body from an old Rolls VW kit, engine, chassis from a newer reissue Beetle kit, wheels/tires/brakes from a Fujimi kit, orange spray paint, parts box roll bar, barris Buggy wipers, parts box 'pea-shooters'...
Raul_Perez Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Nice buggy, Tony!! Does that little bugger have enough HP to push those HUGE meats around?! Maybe you guys have higher octane fuel up north!!
dub Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Maybe you guys have higher octane fuel up north!! Maybe it's the higher air density from the colder temps.... :lol: Nice job with the update on the good old Bug! Big or not, I like the wheels on this one.
Tony T Posted January 14, 2008 Author Posted January 14, 2008 Thus the reason for the dual webers! Thanks for the comments! It was a fun one to put together...I like the wheels, too!
Raul_Perez Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Thus the reason for the dual webers! Got it!! I was so overwhelmed by the moster meats when I looked at it the first time that I completely overlooked the Webers you're using to power the little monster!! Glad to see that you've got a good sense of humor!! Keep up the great builds and the posts!!
Tony T Posted January 15, 2008 Author Posted January 15, 2008 Thanks, Raul! Always looking at the lighter side of life!
Raul_Perez Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Thanks, Raul! Always looking at the lighter side of life! GREAT!! You'll do well here!!
Jared Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 nice job! i'm really diggin' it. the revell kit can be a little hard to deal with. looks like you knew how to handle it! keep it up.
Tony T Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 Also, thanks James and thanks Jared! I'm glad you like it. It was a fun build, took a bit of time to get it all the way I wanted. I'm happy with how it turned out, though!
VW Dave Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I concur - Very nice job on that Beetle, Tony. It's rare to see one of those Revell VW's completed at all....they mostly wind up as parts donors at my house.
