Hey guys,
I am new here. I live in Belgium, 28 years old. Had a motorcycle
accident in 1996 and eversince I am paralised and still missing some functionality in my hands. So if you see some defaults, please don't shoot me :biggrin:
Just wanna show my bus :ylsuper:
It is a Hasegawa-kit with Pegasus wheels. Colours are Tamiya racing green and sand[maybe not so good to see on the pictures].
Hope you like it.

Looks very nice :iceslolan
Exactly my taste :evillol:
Daylight pictures should give justive to your model. If you do, I can't wait for more ;)
I'm 28 and from Belgium aswell, and I DO like old VW's ;) Maybe I've already seen you in a belgian modeling show

Yeah, you're right but lots of people name the Type2 bus as a samba. Even if it has no windows. General mistake.

:iagree:
Had one in my hands this summer but thought it was a bit over priced so it stayed in the shop. Very nice, like it a lot!

No, too many things to do, not enough time. :(
If you were in Jabbeke in 2003 and 2004, I was there too. And if you remember my 'rust' brown beetle , you stoppped on our stand. The world is so small :)

Yo Mike, thx the comments. Hope your goïng to fix a bus know that you've seen mine. I really like those busses.
My brother is making the pick-up version. And I'm looking for the one with the windows, wanna make it Californian style.
P.S. The Hasegawa-kit won't let you down, it fits perfectly! :thumbsup:

Yep! I've stopped there. What scale was that beetle? And what manufacturer?

The wheels and the mirrors came with another kit, I guess?

Yes, the wheels and mirrors come from a Maisto Porsche Boxter. The list of modifications is very long.
You've got a PM ;)

Awesome V-dub, glad you posted your model because it has inspired me to get the kit and build one for myself!
It is unfortunate to hear about your accident, but I'm sure we are all glad you are still with us!
