Hello, in this thread i am going to build CMK's volkswagen beetle, Ik will absolutely not be in mint condition.

The kit is very easy with a limited number of parts




i placed the wheels a little bit deeper under the fenders



this is what the little surgery looks like



the back seat is damaged


first damage



damaged front seat


and it is almost ready for airbrushing!


update will follow

Hi there!
Nice work with that Beetle. I really like what you have done with the fender. The damage looks so realistic.
Thanks for sharing!

Cheers

Robin, nice work! That interior and fender damage is VERY convincing!
I have the "Herbbie" boxing, and I'm trying to build it to the 1963 model in the Love Bug movies, but I put it aside for a while. Like you said, this won't be in mint condition. I wish the one I got had the moon hubcaps that you're using, but I'll have to make some instead.
Oh, and at 7 messages on your count-- welcome to the site!

Great work so far Robin! One thing that stood out though. If the tire is really going to be flat enough to spread out that far, then you will need the rest of the sidewall on the lower part of the tire to spread out with it. Looks really good otherwise

Robin: Looks good. What material did you use for the torn seat covers?

Happy Modelling, -zon

Looking like a nice project. Nice work on that fron seat!
