Talking Finished Model: 'New' VW Beetle
This is one for Joey, it is a model my wife built and finished recently, the R-M VW Beetle kit.
I don't help her with these, she can do enough damage without my help.
She sprayed the body Tamiya Candy Lime Green and the wheels were stripped and sprayed with gloss aluminum metallizers.
Hope you like her work, I am really proud of her






Enjoy!!

Ray

nice color
Great color choice and a nice paintjob! A nice buildup!

Two comments as a person who owns one:

1) the door handles should be body colored not black
2) It looks like the emblem decals that go on the wheel center caps are applied in the front and rear body emblem spots. Not much you can do to change that now tho!

Wish my g/f could build models!

She didn't realise, she followed the instructions and only realised the mistake after, the instructions called for them to be black

No, those are the kit decals for the front and back, there were none for the wheels.

It is the Revell-Monogram kit which is just a reboxed Revell AG kit.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, Jess really appreciates them
