    Tamiya 1/24 1966 volkswagen beetle.

    Something completely different for me as it a car I haven't done before.
    I have opted for volkswagen brilliant orange using hycote double acrylic car spray which for once I have got a decent finish.
    I have done all the body colored parts. Click image for larger version

    That finish actually looks very good. I look forward to the rest of the build of this iconic car.

          Excellent finish on that body shell Peter. Engine and transmission is coming on nicely as well.

                    I used pva glue then covered with embossing powder I still have to refine my technique but it seems to work.

                      It looks very effective.
