10 October 2000:
The windows were cut from acetate sheet and made opaque at the rear regions where the cupboards were.
Black trim on all the glasses was applied with masking and brushing on the outside.
Next, the afore-made internal parts were put in. The following couple of pics show the inside from various points.
Now,
the rear door and the side
doors were put in place. The door handles are the kit's original
handles.
I had two more from my previous beetle remainders, so they fit in
number
for the doors.
Another view with the door slid open.
The
wiper arms are both the right-hand
side of the kit. This part is longer than the left one, and it fit
quite
well to sweep the heightened windshield. The second one also came from
my past beetle kits. They were shaped separately to suit the
appropriate
curves on the windshield.
Now comes the
3/4 front, front and rear
views. Now the only items remaining are the wheels. The beetle's wheels
look too small on the kit, so some larger wheels will be mounted on the
vehicle.
Note: I took new pics after having a better camera but by that time the paint on the sliding doors had cracked...
