Chromecop Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Í'm kitbashing a 1956 Gunze VW and a Kyosho 1/24 Mini-Z Baja Bug at the moment. Here's a few pic's:
FASTBACK340 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 So THATS where the R & M Baja came from! Still a nice piece, and even better as an oval. Nice start!
stitchdup Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Looks like a fun project. I can remember Custom Car magazine(UK) building a similar car in the early 70's out of a 46! bug. Well i say remember but i mean i have the magazine cos i wasn't born then. I look forward to seeing this completed cos I love custom VW's. Looks like your off to a good start with it
Chromecop Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 Made a Little progress today. More mockup Pictures:
Chromecop Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) 19" Wheels in the rear with paddle tires, up front 17" Porsche 356 Wheels with mud-tires (sorry 'bout that blurry Picture) Edited November 10, 2014 by Chromecop
hjracing Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Nice build! I'll keep an eye on this one 'couse I really like Baja bugs!
Chromecop Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks! Here are better pic's of the Wheels:
Chromecop Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Done some more work to the Baja. i'll just let the pic's speak for themselves: Edited November 7, 2014 by Chromecop
Zarana-X Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 This is going to be awesome! I started one with the old Revell kit years ago and gave up.
Chromecop Posted November 8, 2014 Author Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) More work done today: Edited November 8, 2014 by Chromecop
lysleder Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Thanks! Here are better pic's of the Wheels: Say, where did you source those wheels and tires from?
Chromecop Posted November 8, 2014 Author Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) The front Wheels are Fujimi Porsche 356 with a scratchbuilt outer lip to make them 17". The rear Wheels and tires...Just found them in my stash! Most likely from IMC Fun Bug 1/20th scale kit ?? Edited November 10, 2014 by Chromecop
Chromecop Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 More work done today, front axle/suspension almost finished:
Chromecop Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 front end's been completed and I made fake turnsignal Arrows in the B-post:
Chromecop Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 I just had to do Another mockup after gluing the front and rear fenders to the Gunze body and this is just about what it'll look like when finished:
FASTBACK340 Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) front end's been completed and I made fake turnsignal Arrows in the B-post: The turn signal arrows are called Semaphores. Build is turning out nice. Plan on hitting mine this weekend. Edited November 15, 2014 by FASTBACK340
cobraman Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Coming along nicely. Many years ago my BIL had one he loved until one of the rear tires passed him on the 91 freeway in Riverside California ! : )
