VW Beetle

[Mr. Me.]

That`s me again. And my new project - VW Beetle. Kit by Tamiya. I am thinking about colour. Any suggestions? I have lots of variants.


and it is going to be an engine:

I`ll post more progress soon.

Got the same kit to build myself, like you, i still haven't decided on the colour to paint it, if you want to do it in a factory colour, then take a visit to

Good luck with the build...

My favorite for the '66 Beetle is Sea Blue.



There are more VW color pics at thesamba.com.

I like em chopped and painted flat black with flat red rims with Von - Dutch pin striping.

TheSamba.com is a great source for reference pics, you should find insipration there
I'll follow this carefully...

[Mr. Me.]

deedlit, I was already looking for inspiration at wolfsburgstore.be, meanbugs.com and something like this.. I hope thesamba.com will also help me

[deedlit]

This should also help you > Flat4ever

[Mr. Me.]

Engine and parts for it. I also made suspension lower.

I am using Tamiya enamels for painting if any body is interested

[Mr. Me.]

Updates..
I used Mazda miata`s Dunlop tyres for deep-dish wheels I`ve made.

Engine is on the chassis now.

and Beetle next to Karmann.

and that`s how it will look:

more progress soon.

[Mr. Me.]

Hello everybody. I`ve painted the body. That`s the colour I`ve dreamed about...

[Joe Blyth]

Wow, I love that color! Great job so far. I also really like the low-profile tires, they work well on this car.

[deedlit]

Nice color

Don't know where you live but you should protect the KG, it seems a lot dusty

[Mr. Me.]

I am lucky with VW`s. Or I just love them, because everything is going right. Anyway yet..
I`ve clearcoated the body. Now sanding with 2000+ and polishing..

[Mr. Me.]

I decided to make interior dark, and painted it xf-63 "german grey".
