Karmann Ghia

This is my latest completed model. the kit is Mr. Hobby. The kit sucks but i love the car. I built this purely for myself so i didnt do alot to it. very basic build. the seats and canopy were rubber and very difficult to work with and the chrome rubbed of some parts using Tamiya polish!?! anyhow i took a 3 month break from modelling(no time) and this was what i got back into it with. PS im now building a Silvia Silhouette check out the prog in motorsports. also these pics were indoor at night, ill take some better ones tommorrow if anyone wants to see it more clearly.

Not bad at all!!! A very clean build:sunglasse

Thanks... and on a side note..... in retrospect i wish i would have done it Cali style and shaved molding but i didnt so its not chromed and i hate BMF. also there is no emblem cus i thought i could use the Tamiya Golf PE emblem but it was the wrong size and in general i dont like decal emblems so i didnt f with it... sorry

I like it. I Like the Karmann Ghia styling

i was thinking what the hell is karmann kgia, lol, but very cool build, looks super clean

Great job ! I like those cars too!

Very nice :thumbsup:

It's disapointing that only Mr Hobby makes the convertible. You could have used all the parts of the Tamiya kit (excepted the body) but it would become an expensive project.
Btw, good job, Karmann Ghias are too rare here (beetles too ;) )
