Ola,
Today I started on my next project. The Volkswagen pick up from CMK.
The kit contains a plastic Beetle, some pe and a resin part.
This is my first time with PE and had a lot of trouble removing the non-useable parts.
Anyway, here are some early pics. When someone is interested, I will post some more progress pics as I progress :-)

that looks like a very unusual and unique vehicle. Please keep us updated on progress as this is a model not often seen and I, at least, am interested in how it goes togeather and finishes.

My god Dirk

You are building with the speed of light Indeed I have to second what Cliff said this looks like a very unusual built and I will follow it with great interest.
What did the CMK kit cost?? Looks like something I will built sometime too

Keep us updated

I have to agree wit hMr Roo. This is odd. I will be keeping an eye out for this.
You have any reference photos you could post?

NIce one bep, the plastic quality looks much better than the 1/72 one I built by MW. Is it marketed as a typ 825 or are you converting it ? I see you start with what looks like a typ 60. Does the one kit give you options to build one of several types ?
Sorry to hear of your troubles with the PE, but we all have our first time with that, it's just not all that easy to work with sometimes and you need the right cutters. Keep us posted on your progress.

Faust,
The kit costed 13 euro. I bought it from Sturmtiger Modelbouw in Belgium.

Petro,
No reference photo's, just using the box art as reference.

Chuck,
The kit is marketed as a typ 825 kit. The kit contains everything you see on the photo's. There are even 3 sets of different wheels. There are paint instructions for two versions : Wehrmacht 1942-1945 and Luftwaffe 1943-1945.
It is a very nice multimedia kit for very little money.

Hey bep, I meant to ask you how hard was it to seperate that block of resin from the pickup bed looks like it might take a little work

Don,
Very hard. I used a razor saw to remove the most part of the big block, then with a dremel tool the finer work. You can see in pic3 that I had to use some miliputty to correct the broken parts.
