Cool VW Samba Bus w. 12 cyl. engine

Hi,

before I got a digi cam I started a project I saw on a scetch in Scale Auto Enthusiast: a VW Bus -23 window- with the rear and sides of a Ferrari Testarossa.

The engine comes from a Fujimi Koenig Testarossa.

This is what I did some years ago:






When I saw the flyer of the 7. Frankfurter Model Car Show in October, I decided to finish the model for this event ( http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=415350 )

Today I put on the second colour



Next is working on the interior with Ferrari dashboard, seats, ...

Ferrari, VW bus? Crazy combination!
Looks great, I would suggest on painting one of the tones in red, since half of it is a Ferrari after all.

You should have made it a sleeper. Very nice job though, the sides and back look like they were always there.

Nice "Kombi" man!! This is how the VW Samba Bus is called in Brazil, where I came from.
I never thought that a Samba Bus with the back side of a Testarossa could be so fantastic!! If someone told me I wont believe! But I also think that white and red will be much better, cause red has much more to do with ferraris than with green, right?
Anyway, that car is great!! congratulations!
sorry about my weak english...
