Lovely job Sir! I've built a few 1/24 cars and Tamiya are certainly my favourite manufacturer.

It is Tamiya Pearl Light Blue. The blue background does cause a little trick to the eye, LOL!

    Awesome work! The 1966 Beetle has so much character, and you’ve captured it perfectly. Tamiya kits are such a joy to work with, aren’t they?
