Revell: 1970 Convertable Beetle

[Tibbs]

Well, think i'll call this one done, overall im quite happy with the result for a first attempt, its not without a few mistakes, more down to inexperience than model issues, but will be nice to look back at it in a year or so, and see how well i have progressed..... mainly with my brush painting and glueing.


All comments welcome.

If my first car looked as good as that it could be that I built cars these days...


Really good job Amos. Looks like a nice finish on the ice shiny black as well.


I hope that you are proud of that. You should be!
