Album info

May I introduce you: this is a model kit of my own Beetle: ED. The main changes were to transform the 1968 Beetle by Revell (#07083) from the standard trim to the highest available trim: a 1500cc engine with semi automatic and semitrailing rear axle, nearby all the small differents, the luxury Beetle offers:
Pockets in the front doors panels, an ashtray in the rear side panels, ventilation for fresh air in the front hood, ventilation slots in the engine hood, larger bumpers and rear lights and a lot of more.

ED was painted with it's original paint: L620 Savannenbeige (Zero paints). Covered with 2K clear coat, polished to a nice and shiny finish.

The rims are custom made. The original measures were transformed into scale and to fit on the model kits axle. I proudly say, that ED is the first model kit with those rims. Why? Because they didn't exist until I gave them to produce. Thank you to camaro69 😉

Notice: on the pictures you'll see a light blue Beetle. This is how the kit comes out of the box. So you can compare them and look for the changes I've done.
