Tamiya Rally Beetle Project

Page 3: Final Photos

For this model I did go with orange as shown on the box, I decided to use PS-4 Blue that I had left over from my Proline Pro MT 4x4.  The hood is PS-5 black with a layer of flat clear on the outside.  I think it came out looking great.  The chrome bumpers are attached to the body, not to the chassis.  Behold those beautiful reflections!  My only complaint is that the battery wires push out the body on the lower left side.   Of course I could have skipped the antenna on a 2.4GHz model, but I actually think it looks good on a rally car.

   

   


Here is a real life rally Beetle for comparison.
