Here's my new project for a groupbuild on SPC
I have a lot of VW models as I'm a vw lover (and owner) myself, so it was hard to decided which one I want to build.
I choose this nice VW Type 1 Delivery Van from Hasegawa.
My theme for this car is Hoodride. Maybe I had to be one of the Hoodride groupbuilders but I had this idea already before that group was created
The car wil be painted primer grey. White bumpers and some rust and dirt will create that hoodride look. I found a pic on the web which sounds like my ideas.
I also want to make my own roofrack, and there will be an oldskool airco on the side (can anyone tell me what's the name of that thing?)
The first problem are the wheels. I think i'll use the original wheels in black but I have also a set of Fuchs wheels which also looks cool.
With busselecta I made two reference pics. I really love the black original rims. Maybe with a whitewall they look cooler...
A friend of my has made some nice custom hoodride decals for me.
