Completely bone stock Beetle - except for the blood red wheels. Also painted the kit wheels a lovely ghost white and death black.

I had intended to do this photo shoot in the cemetery, but the gates were 'mysteriously' locked.... Spooky.

If you liked those pictures, you should see these...

That does look really good. Prefer the red wheels.

I imagine they locked the gates when they saw you walking up to them carying a model VW, two pumpkins and a camera!

wow nice car, and nice work on it. These are so sexy, I hope Tamiya brings the body back at least for the new minis... They lock the gates to keep out the weirdos...LOL

Thanks Joachim I was partly inspired by how nice yours looked - Black is a great color for these. I also went with black because it is the same color as my father's first VW, and I built this one as a gift to him. (Sshhhh! )
