VW Karmann Ghia in Metallic Red with Black Roof. Only my 2nd attempt at painting and Decals. Not bad even if i do say so myself. Hope you like them. No body mounts fitted as yet. Just waiting on some magnetic Body Mount Kits being delivered.
That’s really nice! I’ve been pondering the purchase of one of these, but couldn’t come up with a decent colour combination as I think the box art is boring. Yours however looks very tasty indeed.
Thanks @Tamiyastef.
I do have a little OCD for detail and this site has been a godsend. I've been trawling through pages and pages for details of how to paint, what backing to use. best way to mask areas. Watched loads of You Tube videos and then just took my time. Suprised how much i enjoyed it to be honest
Fantastic paint job. Is the wheelbase correct as the rear wheels look a tad to far forward or will it correct when body mounts are installed? I have a couple of bodies I have paid for but can’t get them posted for some reason.. I will wait and have complete nib kit already here as a back up.
Hi @kalsh . Thanks for that. It should sit right once to body is mounted. The body in the pics is just placed on the chassis with a couple of clothes underneath to try to get the right look. A couple of magnetic mounts arrived yesterday so may be a weekend of trying to get the right stance and look.

Looks great! Interesting stance - is that intentional, or is that as low as it goes at the back?

@Steffan. Thanks for that, i too wasn't too keen on the box-art and it took me ages to finally decide on a colour scheme.
Love it! As a huge VW fan this is a winner in my book. Nice colour combo too. Good stuff!
