1949/1950 VW Beetle split window in 1/24th scale

[khier]

As far as I know, there is not a single kit of a split window beetle in 1/24th scale. Therefore, I decided to make a conversion kit to exsisting VW beetle kits. I did not go crazy with accuracy and details and limited the parts to the exterior, like body, bumpers, lights,... etc,. As far as the interior is concerned, only the dashboard and steering wheel. I will create one day decals for the gauges. Seats, door panels have to be taken from a donor kit, or scratch built if an accurate model is desired. Clear parts have to be fabricated also. Available for download in STL format at major CAD exchange platforms, free of charge as usual. I hope you like it.

There is a pretty nice resin transkit for 1949 Beetle made by Best Model Car Parts on eBay. It works with Tamiya's Beetle. I bought one for $65 couple of years ago.
