1/24 Tamiya VW Beetle

[wardsmodelbuilder]

I finally have a little time from commission work to start a little side project. After searching my stash I decided to go for this Beetle, which should be quick and simple.







Its going to be painted with zero paints and cleared in 2k, with a beige interior. Might be a strange combination but its just paints I have lying around and I think the chrome on the body panels will look good against a dark blue. Its going to be a completely box stock build. Not looking for anything complicated.







I have made a start on the body, sanding the seam lines out and given it a first coat of primer.







to be continued.....

I have this one in the stash as well, so I will be following.

Oh, and the color choice is one of my favorite VW offerings.

No Gurney or A J Foyt collection is complete with out these VW'S I was just thinking I should get back to the Hebmuller resin conversion I am about half way through... Chris

Here is the progress so far on the little Beetle.







Nothing major wrong with the body out of the box, just a couple of mould lines which were easily removed.



Primed, painted and a little bare metal foil added to the side features and then cleared in 2k.







I will now start to work on the chassis and engine.



Thanks
