    Despite the challenges of the kit, you made it look half way decent. Thank you for your honest review. I have this kit in the stash and my kid wants to build it. If she does I guess I'll be helping her quite a bit.

    Great build! I really like your take on the build. The Streaker Vette had the same issue with the wheels being wider than the tires! Your Big turned out great! 😎👍

    Lmao. I thought I was listening to myself giving a "gentle" review of an AMT repoop!
    Your finish build looks great, for what you had to work with. I have avoided this kit for precisely the issues you mentioned, but have also kept it in mind for a possible donor, or an old school sand buggy, essentially just a pan & hot vw motor. The body looks kinda cartoony to me, might just be the camera. Love the primer! Going to have to try some of that, can never have too many silver/metal/gray options.

      I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes, it would be a great donor kit, and the engine isn't bad. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great weekend 👍

    If you are looking for a more realistic Beetle, pick up the Tamiya kit #24136. This kit is an old cartoonist shortened kit. I have it built as a heavily modified kit with a 3D printed resin engine and some photo etch.
    It takes some effort to make this kit not look like a toy in the end.

    Turn off the music when you're talking please. Good build for this old kit! It is a challenge.

      Thank you. It was challenging but still a fun build. I will see what I can do about the audio, thanks for letting me know it's an issue. Have a great week,
