G'day, these are my favourite builts. Two classic volkswagens, a karmann ghia coupe and a beetle 1300 s. Both of them are from tamiya.

Let me know what you think and Thanks for looking.

Cheers

Bryce you are right it going to be based on one that a friend built in the US I think that its been in a couple of Magazine's. I just hope that I can do it justice. As I'm shore you can tell its not quite standard

The Tamiya Karmann Ghia kit is a real treat to build - goes together like a dream. Here's mine done several years ago:

I want to do another one with a Windsor V8 and a set of mini lites... Twisted Evil

Man, I just love to see a karmann ghia painted with coral blue like yours, very classic

Oh, and by the way, I used tamiya TS-50 mica blue for mine, I really like that color, I used that color for my karmann ghia, BMW 635 CSi , Nissan Silvia S15 ( which all you have seen ) , 911 GT2 and Alpine A 110 1600SC ( which I will post later )

Thanks

What a couple of superb builds, even as stockers they look great.

Note to self: Pick up a couple of Volksy kits.
