Tamiya Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia

[ChillyB]

I built this from the excellent Tamiya kit in 1/24 scale, which depicts the 1966 model year of this car. I decided to paint it in a scheme that was more common to these cars in the 1950s. The exterior is painted with Tamiya lacquers: black on the roof and a custom mixed color for the rest of the body, with clear coat over the whole body. The interior is detail painted in various shades to mimic the real thing: Check out that dashboard detail! The engine is complete but I glued the engine cover closed. The chrome trim around the windows is Bare Metal Foil; all other chrome is Alclad II.

Thanks, Christophe. It is a great kit and I highly recommend it to anyone with the slightest interest in Volkswagens.
