1/24 Tamiya VW Beetle

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.....

Re: 1/24 Tamiya VW Beetle

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
Chris
