Re: VW Beetle 1303S (Aoshima)

It's a lovely job, those wheels, IMO, suit the car well!

What's your opinion of the kit? Pros/cons, etc...

Re: VW Beetle 1303S (Aoshima)

Oh tks for the comments. Well, re the kits, since it is just a re-issue of the old IMAI kit, no surprise at all. Not a full (to the floor kind interior), thus did not encourage me to put extra time in it. The body shell isn't really to the scale, i think it's a bit fat and short in height. I bet the tamiya/hasegawa will be much better. I bought it 'coz I trust Aoshima, but slightly disappointed after finding out it's not a real Aoshima kit.

Really nice
I love it

Is that a flip-flop paint?

I like this Beetle, looks very hot, and the rims are the perfect choice!
