100% OOB Revell Germany, very sweet kit to build. I built it as a replica of a car I used to own, "Sahara Tan" with a "Teak" interior.

Sharp car Paul. You've got the paint finish and details covered perfectly.

That is lovely! I have one of these tucked away somewhere to build and stick with my Tamiya bug. Love the color choice you went with too. Great looking build.

Absolutely gorgeous Beetle Paul. You have done some really sharp work to nicely represent. And, yeah, I drove a few over the years. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/02pj5HWJ/imagereader.webp)

A beetle infestation if I ever saw one, Joe!
Lovely model, Paul. I had a 58 but it was pretty rough. Not sure my weathering skills are up to replicating it.

Very nice work.
Ya, those used to be cheap to buy, build and have fun. Not so much anymore. I would love to have that karmen Ghia in the center there.

Oh, now don't let that deter you from owning one of these historic pieces ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . We have folks from the Netherlands and Germany buying some and shipping them home.
