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.

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.
