Volkswagen T2 Bus

This is my Volkswagen T2 Bus painted with Tamiya TS-26 Pure White and orange kit plastic.  I have whitewall tires, Hurst Lockout Shifter, dual tailpipes, inside mounted spare tire and side markers.

Great job on this. I build the same a while ago and it's a very well designed kit and for a snapper, it turns out pretty good. I like what you did with the wheels and tires. ?

Looks great! I have the Westfalia version waiting for me.

Thanks Mario!  I applied the whitewall decals and clearcoated them and let them dry.  I installed the tires onto the wheels and a couple of decals came apart.  I tried to fix the missing parts with my white Gelly Roll pen.  The repair is really not that good.

Cool build I like the fact that you "americanized it" with sidemarkers, looks really great!

Very Cool!

My wife owned one of these back in the Eighties. Hers was robin's egg blue with a front-mounted spare.

Seeing yours brought back some fond memories. I'd be great to build one for her, what kit is this?

Thank you Darryl and David!

David, this is the Revell of Germany Volkswagen T2 Bus kit #07667.  This is a snap kit (easy click system) with excellent detail!  1/24 scale with 109 parts.
