Re: VW Beetle Cabrio

Another aircooled Vw, cool...

Go with the color you prefer, but IMO blue should look nice.
Also, one advise, remove these sunvisors and redo them

Re: VW Beetle Cabrio

good luck, my revelle beetle kits have always turned out like dookie. they just don't have the fit and finish of some of the higher quality kits available. at least it's a pre '79 beetle that doesn't have the rounded under front end.

Re: VW Beetle Cabrio

this kit builds into a great model, but it definitely takes some effort to get it there. the fit is typical for older revell models. nice thing is that if you get the skip's fiesta version, it comes with porche wheels! (the VW style anyway)

I have built several of these, and they are pretty good, but if you want a simple out of the box kit that builds into a really nice model, then get the tamiya, and cut the roof off.
