NickD Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Hans J, I beg your forgiveness in hijacking your thread with a discussion on Alfasuds, I promise i will stop after this post. My brother's was also fantastic but why they made them soluable in water I have never understood. He used to spend a lot of time welding!

John_W Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Very nice build of an old classic. The figures are remarkably well sculptured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much. Yes the figures are actually on par with many of the scalefigures one encounters in todays world of modelling. But before I begin on the figures, let's shead some lights on it shall we? : Looks a little frogeyed, don't you think? Cheers Hans J 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 So! Just to show, that there are some other parts in the kit as the previous shown: Cheers Hans J 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Surely the bikini should be yellow with white dots? Paint yellow then cut off the end of a cocktail stick and dab on nearly dry white paint. The engine, satin black with metal cylinders. I saw a Karmann Ghia on TV the other day painted so. The Orange paint is looking very good now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I always imagined it as black polka dots, and a little bit of googling turned up this: It's one of those things it's almost embarrassing to get right 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 So! I made a mistake! I glued the exhausts in the wrong position - the should be 90 degrees upwards instead! Hopefully you can see in the picture what I mean. The fault stems from the fact, that I used a picture of at beetle-engine, but this is not a beetle - it's a Buggy! I discovered the mistake when I had to fit the protection-plate under the engine. Somehow it looks better too - more sporty!

HansReggelsen Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 So! It's monday, the weather is cloudy and I can feel a cold is coming! Then it's nice to work on a summercar and dream of driving through the dunes in the sunshine! I've chosen to weather the car a bit as I have plans for it - oh yes! Plans indeed!

Bill.B Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I built this Airfix Bugle Buggy many, many moons ago, but as a kid mine wasn’t anywhere as nice as yours. Not far to the finishing line Hans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not far to the finishing line Hans. I build this too a long time ago. I figured out it must have been the first edition from 1971! I was only 9 and painted it mattgray!
