1966 Volkswagen 1300 Beetle | Tamiya 1:24

This is my first model completed in 2024! This is also my first Tamiya car model. Definitely wont be my last!

Awesome !

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

Oh ! Nice one it looks silver but it doesnt. Cant make my mind up....mmm ! Is it a kind of pale artic blue ?

Thanks everyone!

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

That's a stunning job - congratulations!!

Nice build, and fine detail work with the chrome and window seals.

Lovely build and paint and love the careful fine detail work.

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?
