10th, 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. |

| UPDATED OCT.22nd,2000:
I found suitable wheels at last. They came from a Chinese made die-cast Mustang toy. They fit just well both on the wheel and within the wheelarch. So here are a couple of finished pics. Clicking on the rest of the pics will result in a bigger one. |
