    I hope I can open this topic... :)

    In this week I'm only working on a Wire VW in 1/25... It will be ready next week... :) I still need to decide the color, but it is not a big deal... :)
    Some pics...

    Sweet Bug. I saw a real one at Autorama last year.

    I have been working on the underside of the cockpit on my Fort. I added a bunch of styrene to the resign parts I'm getting ready to add structure tot he ball turret.

    Yep I saw it, there are several of those wire bugs... :) I never seen the green one, but I think in white is the best way to go... :)

    Those wire bugs are outrageous. Brizio, you did a great job duplicating one. That's got to be one of the most unique models I've ever seen.

    My work isn't ready for pictures yet. I've been working on the cockpit of a B17 with a clear side along with the regular B17s for my attempt at a dio. I should have plenty of pictures for next week.

    Thank you! I started the hoods today, hope to finish them before the end of the day, so I can primer the VW... :)

    They had a white one very similar to the one you're making at the VW headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan when I was there several years ago. They are pretty cool.

    Another person on another forum told me the same things, that he went a the VW's HQ for some seminar, and saw this wire bug. Probably you know this person... :)
