Cal look VW Bug with rust & roofrack WIP

The basis for this is the Revell kit, molded in pink. Detail was poor and the molding was vague and a bit soft. A panel scriber helped.

I added the hinge knuckles on the doors, as they were missing.

I also added louvres to the rear lid and made a didtributor from alu tube.

The wheels are from the kit but the tyres are parts box. Roofrack is scratchbuilt from brass rod.

Brown and red primer for the rust effects

I've got to add the tinted glass and fix the trim on. The rack will sit lower once i've drilled holes for the legs and glued it in place. Headlights are going to have peaks/eyelids on them.

more pics soon
