Revell 1/24 VW Samba Bus

HI all my next bit of light relief after the Citroen

this kit has really strange build order in that the body is built round the interior which is ok if you're spraying it normally but the paint job I intend will have some feathering so I need to make sure it will all line up correctly when put together so( I'm hoping this will work ok) I've tacked all the body together so I can spray the body as a whole, thus making sure it will all line up. I will be trying a couple firsts on this kit Alclad 2 and candy colours so wish me luck.

HI all, ok so I sorted the chrome out but putting the candy colour over the top seems to have changed the chrome effect (I think in a quite pleasing way) I'm going to do a couple more coats of the cherry red candy then remove the masking then mask up the cherry red and do the chrome and then (cant decide on orange or emerald green candy on the top) personally I'm looking forward to see how it looks, I think It may be better than I visualized originally.

Hi all well here is the next offering I, have had a bit of an accident (trying to cut corners) instead of masking it up with tape I used masking fluid and its reacted with the paint (I think when i put the light bezels on and the VW badge on the front it wont notice much)

Hi all well here is a tiny update I think I've hidden the damage from the masking fluid with a couple of strategically placed hippy flowers

Lookin' good!

That's the nice thing about a custom van, you can always hide flaws with decals! Not that I might have done that, at times...

I'm eager to see this one all done up!

This is interesting! Your Citroen turned out super nice so I can't wait to see how this looks when finished. The start is looking really promising already, especially your weathering on that chassis looks very good to me.

Looks very good so far,I really like the weathering you did on the chassis,nice work!
