Re: VW Käfer Aufklärungs Fahrzeug
VWs have a long and distinguished history of being the basis for fun-fun-fun vehicles. You are continuing the tradition in scale. As they say in the snow-covered or mosquito-infested US state of Minnesota, "What a hoot!"

Thnkz Lee.
I know, the balloon tires are not the correct type for the model in that camo, I am building at the moment.
In fact they were for the DAK during the African war.
But I must use what I've got.
No intentions to build a third Beetle.....with the correct type of tires.
CU,
Rob.

Re: VW Käfer Aufklärungs Fahrzeug
The photos of weathered detail under the bonnet and boot (hood and trunk) are a treat to see. I was transported back in time to memories of using a Crescent Wrench to "set the timing" on a (long deceased) friend's Karmann-Ghia. One time I forgot to take the wrench off the nut, so when my friend turned the starter switch, that wrench took to flying and banged against the house siding, hitting right next to my landlord just as he stepped out on the porch. My landlord laughed and said, "Trying' to get the ol' wash machine runnin', hunh?"
