Next to hit my bench will be this 1956 Volkswagen Oval Window that I bought from Bucky a while back. This is what's in the kit. I started by painting the white walls on the tires. That whole black sprue is a vinyl piece, not plastic so it needs to be painted with acrylic paint or it won't ever dry. The fun of Gunze Sangyo kits.

That looks like a pretty straightforward kit Joe and one that I've never seen before. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

Something quick and easy. We have that Pink Panther mini group build starting in Jan. This is just a filler, nice quick curbside build of a vehicle from my birth year!

Good to see this one come out of the stash, keemo sobby! LoL I sent that one on the westward trek because I actually have several other Beetle kits to destroy later on. None of those are Gunze Sangyo kits, tho.

Wow! I like that color! Looks great on the Bug body! Thanks so much Bucky. I wanted something upscale from a traditional color... they came in black and grey along with other colors, so that's my starting point I went with. |

Nice color,Joe, and well sprayed. They aren't the easiest body shell to spray   . |
