2024 Small Scale Group Build: the Airfix Beach Buggy - Part 1

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

My entry for this year's Small Scale Group Build, hosted by Bryan and Shawn. It runs from Feb 1 to 29, 2024. I started this kit two weeks ago but was only able to get back to the workbench today. This was an open kit and as I found out it was missing a number of parts, however, I was able to persevere.

    Steve, I’m really digging this kit! Very cool. Great idea flipping the dash. 😀👍🏻

    Thanks, I thought of flipping the dash right after I glued it in the other way on the first build. 😄

    Thanks Spencer, it does have a good bit of detail and the figures are molded well.

    Thanks for the comment Craig, not sure if it was the shot or a coincidence. Haven't had a reaction like that before but it was the first time getting the pneumonia vaccine.

    What a little gem of a kit. With a 1/32 Corvair engine, some new wheels and some subtle modding, it might be possible to turn this into the Meyers Manx driven by Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway in The Thomas Crown Affair.

    Glad you are feeling better. Building scratch built parts is not too bad but usually the problem is that you have no scale of reference for size, but in your case having the earlier kit you built comes in handy. Nearly finished my current build so hope to have a video up soon. You will have a mention but you'll have to wait for the video to know why. 😁

    It really helped to have the previous build to refer to. Sometimes the instruction diagrams are the same scale and you can use them also. Looking forward to seeing your video.
