Okay, not a bandit, but certainly a rebel!

This is the Tamiya 1/24 1966 VW Beetle. Herbie was a 1963, I believe, but hey...……and I'm gonna use the stock wheels.

Sort of looking forward to this one getting under way.



and may look like this when / if done...

In Tamiya's fashion - parts, parts, and more parts

Well first off it's a Tamiya build so it should go together painlessly. Secondly it's a really cool subject so it's just gonna be a really cool build.

Here's a link to the decal sheet if you haven't found a source for that already: http://www.ffsmc-productions.com/en/124 ... e-bug.html

Pretty good lookin' sheet:

That’s why I went with the Tamiya....it was also a ‘66, so the bumpers were better suited, and it’s a Bug! Should be fun. Hope you don’t mind questions.

Oh, and it 7 to 10 times cheaper than a Herbie kit...sheesh!

Not at all Lyle.

One of my favorite movies growing up and watching it at the drive in on those hot summer nights in my dad’s station wagon.Watching this one for sure...

Thanks, Joe!
