Air Cooled GB: Tamiya Beetle (of a smaller nature!)

[TSiSS350]

Well this air-cooled group build intrigued me enough to start a beetle. A little different than the norm, its a 1/48 Military kit that I am going to do cal-look with. Should be a simple quick transformation so here it goes!

The Kit...




How small is it you say?
Compared to the Hasegawa 1/24.......




And a sneak peak of the look I am going for...


Much more to come! Stay tuned!

And I thought the 1/24 Beetles were small.

So this is the "great great grandfather" of the VW beetle...
I think it would look better if you stick with the military subject that the kit intends you to build, that would make it one of a kind for sure, but it's your call how it's built. =)

Well most military modlers build it as a military vehicle, so I wanted to do it as a street driven, modified car. I dont think I have seen one built up that way ever!

Reminds me something

Will follow this as it should look cool once finished
