1968 VW Beetle - my Beetle "ED"

Scale:: 1:24
Status:: Completed
Started:: January 16, 2018
Completed:: September 29, 2018

Rebuild my own Beetle. A mix of the "new" Revell Beetle and "new" Revell Beetle Convertible.

Thinking about some more details and bring the model kit near to the original (inner fenders, quarter panels, gearbox, rear axle, door paper, steering wheel...)

Thinking about the rims, how to solve this...

Hi Christian, you wrote: "Thinking about the rims, how to solve this...". Do you mean the rims (Felgen) or rather the TRIMS (Zierleisten)?

Like I wrote: the rims - Felgen😉

As far as I know aren't they available on the market. There are e.g. the Maglites or Watanabe. But they have not the right shape or are to little. I'm looking for a way to make them. Mine are EMPI 8 spokes. If I had the older Bug with 5 spokes by EMPI, it wouldn't be a problem. 5 spokes are available in some kits by Polarlights.
