Sweet! I love beetles too. Love the color again. Built the Tamiya kit in a slightly whiter blue myself a while back. This Revell kit looks like it builds up nicely too. Really great job.

Thanks. It's very comparable to the Tamiya kit, builds nice. I built that one too. Unfortunately I cleared with testors enamel which yellowed.

The shade of blue you put on this really makes the look of this Bug! Sweet looking build!

Thanks. You know I've never ridden in one. I have ridden in a type 3 fastback.

That is some awesome work, Lee. This is classical work, IMHO.
You must understand you're giving me flashbacks, Lee, from the early 70's. There were five "BUGS" in our driveway in So Cal and I distinctly remember it was a shuffle game every afternoon as to who pulled in first to last, according to who left first in the AM. I always felt like a "strange being" on a block with 110 kids from ages 5-15, who wouldn't? HA! The Bug house!
P.S. My brother found a cherry'66 for me for high school transpo, and I rolled it within three weeks, HA! Ya, I paid me Mum back, but I think she got the better deal, lol. I really hated riding in that thang, lol.
