cobraman Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Nice Dub but the steering wheel is on the wrong side ! : )
unclescott58 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Very nice. But, the last time I was in Canada you guys were still driving on the right, with your steering wheel on the left. What happened? The Queen come back and take over the country? Despite that, very nice build. Scott
Chris White Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 thought I was lookin at that the real car
stitchdup Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Nice build, I like the colour choices you've made. How did you find building the kit? i have built the Tamiya 66 version and since VW's are my favourite cars i may have to get this kit. Does it have a detailed engine? And i like the fact it's built right hand drive, but i live in the UK where we drive on the right side of the road, lol!!!
Tom Geiger Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Very nice build! I have the sedan version and was hoping someone would do the right hand drive version!
CarlR Posted November 2, 2014 Author Posted November 2, 2014 Thank you all for the positive comments to answer stichdup's questions... the kit was a pleasure to build - no flash, parts fit well, positive location points, excellent chrome and a comprehensive decal sheet. The engine is quite detailed - don't know how I missed not taking a photo of it. I wouldn't hesitate to recomend this kit to anyone interested in building a bug - I would say the quality is right up there with Tamiya. As to why I built it right hand drive? Over here RH drive is unusual so I did it for a change in pace
unclescott58 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Again, as I noted before, a very nice build. But, I've gotten suckered into looking at this one again because you posted it as VW cabriolet. And I keep thinking, "I don't remember seeing a model of a VW cabriolet?" To me a VW cabriolet is a different car. A VW Cabriolet is what Volkswagen called the Golf Mk I/Rabbit convertible in the US after the other Golf body styles moved on to the Mk II version. What you have built is a VW Beetle cabriolet/convertible. Not just a VW "cabriolet." Scott
Dublover1970 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 This is a great build! Love the color, paint job, everything! I can only aspire to that skill level!
