Finished: VW Beetle Drag

Finished the Beetle, fitting aint that good lots of molding had to be cut away, even so one rear wheel sticks out more than the other wheels.
Left the hood, boot and doors off, heres the pic's








enjoy & please leave feedback

Well it looks nice but wouldn't it be to fragile since there are no doors or rolbars inside. Are the rear wheels smaller then front or my eyes play tricks on me. Nice build.

i think he meant the wheels...not the tires. The wheels are the part that the tire goes around, the tire is the rubber part. The wheel looks small to mee too.

Also i think it would look better with no wheel arches.

Re: Finished: VW Beetle Drag
