      Hi Gary, will you be putting this in the "weeds" or leave it at the stock height? I have had the itch to do one of these conversions in 1/87 scale ever since Andy did his version almost a year ago. These are a real show stopper in my book. You are doing a great job and I am looking forward to the next update. :thumb2: Rick H.

        Hi Rick. I like customs but I'm going for a pseudo factory look with this one, as if VW built it to run parts about, so standard height, utilitarian spec, nothing fancy. It's great fun and relatively straight forward, those flat panels are a gift, and I'm deliberately keeping it simple, especially in the face of Andy's superb effort!

          Could be quite a fun build/conversion. The same sort of thing could also be done with a couple of Revell's later T3 camper van kits.
          Not quite the same appeal as the Samba Style Bus/ Van/ Pickup kits but a bit different none the less.
