VW Karmann-Ghia

Hello guys. That`s my current project. It is Tamiya VW Karmann-Ghia from Historic car series. I`ve painted it TS-20 Metallic Green.
I`ve recently understood that I am classic cars fan and decidedto build all Historic Cars.:)
Hope you like it:rolleyes:

What do you think?

i like the color, a polished clear coat would really make it shine. i'm thinking white walls, what are you thinking?

I am not really sure about white walls. Wheels (and every thing) would be stock I think.

I'd say, with that colour, you can go nuts! I'm guessing it's not a stock colour... I built this kit a few years ago in black and it's a nice kit. The engine is ripe for some extra detailing, though. Keep us posted.

I`ve made an engine

and hood. or trunk. I don`t really know how it is called on cars with engine in the rear:p

i belive it is the engine hood and the front is the hood. looks cool. i need to get this and build it for my dad.

Good job so far :bigthumb:

I also think that with this paint you need custom rims, why not old Porsche rims, like 356?
It's exactly the same colour I painted my convertible bug.

Looks good so far. It'd still be the hood to me, since the engine is underneath. and the front would be the trunk, since that's where the storage is.

tiny update.

and if I find Porshe 356 wheels I`ll put them

Don't want to hijack your thread but this is how it looks like with 356 rims VVV

Pure old-speed look :sunglasse

Nice looking green one!

great paint too, we want to see more!

I`ve found that 356 rims looks like stock, they are just wider.

It`s me again... made stock tires white-walls. what do you think about it?

White walls look great, how did you paint them?

Thank you guys...
I`ve just took white acrylic paint, thin brush and painted it freehand:rolleyes:
b.t.w. what color should be rims? flat black?

flat black! crome with that color would proably look real tacky idk what do you guys think? love the build man

thanks again. and one more qestion: what colour would be nice for interrior? I think that white would be nice. wht do you think?

I would say a dark tan and black for the interior maybe.

Or maybe a black and grey interior?

White, tan, beige buff, light grey, ... It's up to you :)

and it`s me again. Hope it will be ready soon.
I`ve choosed white for the interrior.
