1/35 Ryefield Type 82E Staff Car-On Wheels-09/17

Post by mustang1989 »

I’ve really been tied up with my Ford Maverick build over in the Auto Section. Never before have I had to do so much in the way of plan out and precise fit to get a model to “work” convincingly before. It seems like it’s been one step forward and two steps back for over a half of a year now. Right now I'm stuck with trying to get an AMT '67 Mustang engine bay to work with the Jo-Han '70 Maverick body and all line up with the frame at the same time. The last few months I’ve needed distractions to keep me motivated in building so that I’m at least getting something accomplished at the bench. With this latest snag with the Mav I again…..need something to keep me motivated. I thought long and hard about either another OOB auto build or something else. :hmm: I pondered my options and thought to myself, “What if I combined the best of two worlds and satisfied my auto craving while at the same time doing something militaristic in nature?”. What I came up with was something that’s a little outside of my scale preference but something that I’ve been wanting to build since late last year.

Ya see…..I’ve got this 1/35 scale Ryefield Type 82E VW Beetle in my collection and right of the box it’s one helluva kit. It’s got an engine and full interior as well as lotsa details under the “hood” where the spare tire and all that stuff is. I’m going to order some 1/35 scale small arms and equipment to kind of set it off a little bit but it’s going to be an OOB build with some teeny mods done to it to enhance what is already there. :whistle:

And with that……we’ll be starting with this……

Very cool! The original Bug!

Should be a fun project. So you going to build this oob or turn it into a dune buggy?

or a German version of Herbie? :whistle: :giggles: Looking forward to seeing this one. I had seen this kit over in scalehobbyist awhile back and had been sitting on the fence whether or not to put in my watch list. :hmm:

Thanks for the replies fellas. I'll be building it as it is on the box cover with some accessories like a helmet on the seat and some glasses on the dash. I've actually thought of a newspaper on the seat as well.
