'66 VW Karmann Ghia coupe SoCal
Today I finished this nice Tamiya kit.

It's the VW Karmann Ghia coupe. I really love this car (vw lover...) and now I have one in scale to

I made a sort of so-cal style from this car.













































The kit is almost the same as the 1966 Beetle from Tamiya. The kit is very nice and goes well together. I had no fittment issues.

Here's a list with some extra's I added:

- chrome Halibrand wheels
- Fujimi tyres
- Moon decals
- Aluminium exhausttips
- Lowered
- PE licenseplateframes
- American licenseplates
- Black en creme interiorflocking

Hope you guys like it.

Kris.

Great job, I was so taken by the paint and foiling I almost forgot to check out the rest of the car. You must have put lots of extra care and time in it.
