Congratulations, Bob. That Bug looks really good. It's nice to see a model of a "built" VW engine as a change from the usual V-8s.

What a treat to see pics of this finished. This is one of my favorites. An excellent model of an unusual subject. Top notch.

I have also watched this project from the beginning, and was still "WOW'D" at the finished product. Excellent job Bob! Awards were well deserved.

Fuelish, I want to personally thank you for all the help with this build, not only the advise you gave me when I got stuck, But I want to thank you for the countless hours you spent on the graphics to finally get the decals to work, whew that was crazy, so when you see this build know that you had a lot to do with it.Lots of Blood, Sweat and Tears, I guess you could say. Thank you John.
