This VW 1600 TL was very common here in Brazil on 70/80's :) Amazing!

Lovely job as usual Rob. That paint while it echoed the original looks great, just wish it wasn't PINK. but it would still look good on my display shelf ;-) PS that Pink would make a great colour for the 'Paint it Pink' challenge if it is repeated next October for Breast Cancer awareness month.

Another pink one? I love it! Those details are gorgeous! And those wheels, you were so right on picking those! Primer color: only matters (besides being easier to identify what you already painted) if you're using a few layers of very thinned/transparent or translucent paints on any part of your surfaces. If you're doing using heavy coats of an already opaque paint and painting all the surface uniformly, it shouldn't matter. It is "like" (mostly the same but microscopically) an empty sandbox. The color of the bottom only matters while you haven't added enough sand to block any light from reaching it and reflecting back at your eyes; once you're a few cm deep everywhere the only bottom color is "black". EDIT: "it goes without saying" but I think it is best to say anyway: so it varies with the paint which point (how heavy a coat/how many coats) is "too much", and the best way to figure it out for any given paint is just to test it. Not trying to discourage testing it, just clumsly trying to point out that there is a limit to the primer's influence.

Oh hey, my parents had a college friend who had one of these, I remember it from when I was a little kid. His had originally been a color that Testors might have called "Urban Sanitary Spill Brown", but by then was mostly just big patches of rust. Speaking of junkyard dioramas. Yours looks much nicer, even in pink. :) Perfect wheels, too, just like the real ones used to have. Also, in re said diorama, a thought for when the time comes: since the A-pillars are already gone in that body shell, it seems like it'd be simple to fold the roof back as if the paramedics had gone in there with the Jaws of Life.

I do love a VolkswagEn, this is a lovely casting. So many of them suffer from cracked A pillars and sometimes sills too. I often see them missing a spotlight as well. There are at least 5 different versions of this one with different wheels/wheel arches/colours. This one would look great with my original versions!

I am not a big fan of pink, but this looks really cool. The wheels are perfect! The only thing I will say about the rest is the work you did with the chrome details on the body outshine the bumpers, which should also be chrome. And depending on the year, there might be a black rub strip on there as well. I know some have it and some don't. Cute little car.
