Post by mcevoyi »

Hi all

Can any one help ...?

TAMIYA does make a VW beetle... it's 1/10th scale... but with your skill set ... I'm sure you would have no problem retrofitting parts

I would say the largest barrier is the nature of the beast that is Volkswagen... they all had that "flat" pan chassis instead of a frame...so doing a prototypical model would be a challenge to say the least ;)


Have a good one Mcevoyi :thumbup:
