Came across an old Revell 1/16th Beetle she is a 1951/52 model which I am
adapting back to a wartime machine, will also be rc as I plan to fit her to a
Tamiya Kublewagon chassis and she will have a rad camo paint job!



Rather than letting the Kublewagon body collect dust my plan is to be able to swap the bodys
on and off the chassis. With a bit of planning and some careful cutting I can pull this off.
(See original Tamiya Kublewagon below top pic and Kuble with guards cut off below.)


Pics with paint soon.............

I picked up one of those a couple of years ago. It's still sitting on my shelf waiting to be made.

Great idea, , keep the pics coming

cant wait to see the finished car! it's a kinda "must do" sorta project!

Looks a great idea look forward to seeing the finished pic's

If I get the airbrush out I try and get a bit done, also doing a 1/25th diecast and 1/35th kit Beetle.


Camo next going for something a bit different............

Blimey,... It's Beetle Mania

Very good!
Trying to think in which theatre would the germans have found waves?
French coast, maybe North Africa?

Are you going to call it Herbie

Maybe not Herbie how about Hermin?

Got some camo on found a nice scheme on the net, couldn't resist!



Also converting a 1/25th diecast Beetle to wartime colours.


This was a lot harder to do than it looks!


Had to scratch build horns on bumper, horn and guard mounted convoy light.






And don't forget the Kublewagon.
