RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Picked up a 1/16 VW Beetle a while ago, it's not RC but it makes a good prop-

Very nice... that looks incredibly cool!

nice model..always had a soft spot for the old Beetle..and am sure the tiger finds it quite soft as well

Just posted on "that other site" about this, my DAK should be finished by the weekend with a bit of luck. Trying to find another one for an ambo but they're as rare as hell or silly money.

Nice Beetle,
Any thoughts on converting to RC

Thanks.

I was planning on making it RC but I decided I've got too many tanks projects on the go and I just wanted to get something built.

I have this kit,and was going to build the version cross with the Kubelwagen drive train,but to much other stuff in pieces. Yours looks grand,their is a picture in the Grossdeutschland History of a field eastern front before Kursk with 20 beetles and Kubelwagen all Gray and looking weathered. Really good job thanks for sharing.

Always thought the map light odd,but functional considering your a commander,captain or maybe major and driving around Russia at night in a Gray Beetle,hard to imagine how professional these guys were and given the equipment the job they were asked to do.

Run over it with the Tiger!

hope this is of any use http://www.volkswest.co.uk/beetle_history.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
