Revell VW Street Machine at home
Posted by PatW on Tuesday, September 11, 2018 1:36 PM

Bought as a glue bomb, body OK, rest, chassis, axles,engine, front screen, wheels/tyres all in box. Parts except body hand painted all over so no contact areas, so cleaned off paint, glue parts together, and rebuild.

Ha, thats cool.  I like the scoop.  Is that customized or did a kit come out with that hood and fared over rear windows?

Thanks,

John

Sharp.

Anything to share on the wall materials, or the method to show the plaster over brick?

I bought the dio in two sections from Scale Production.de and just had to mount the two wall sections and paint it, all the scuffs were already there.

Thanks guys, as previous owners of 5 Beetles and the fact that know one here in the UK put V8's in anything because we can't afford to buy the engines or the fuel to use them, we keep them flat 4 aircooled, perhaps turbo'd or supercharged but always aircooled.
