Late last year I saw a build review of this kit in Fine Scale Modeler. I've always been a fan of the older Beetles and have also wanted to build a model of one from WWII so needless to say I just had to have this kit. Soooo....my wife got it for me for Christmas. I've been waiting for a slot in which to build it so I finally got one here a month or so ago and I had a lot of fun building it. The only real problem that it has is in the windshield fit. There's alot of sanding that needs to happen with the glass itself if you want it to fit perfectly in the opening. I managed to get it to work for me but it wasn't without its struggles.
Any how....here's the completed build:

Bernie could take it! You nailed the paint, all finishes perfectly. Wow! Beautiful work.

BRAVO! That is one sharp looking Bug in uniform. I never had much of an eye for the Beetle in its’ military career, but now... I might have to get one myself after seeing yours.
