I built one when I was a kid.

Several years back I built this one for BusNutBob. He had an original one in the box.

When the old kit was reissued it in 2010, I built one for myself. You can get them at [url]round2models.com[/url]

I would love to get a close-up look at that prototype. It would be interesting to know what Beetle model it was based on.

I'm guessing that you really dig Zingers!

From my portable photo studio.

Valve covers say GURNEY EAGLE

Not wanting to keep Zingers to myself, I built these two for my brother-in-law who collects Mopars.

The one on the left is the "Little Red Zinger," which I found built up, and did a little detailing and added decals.

The one on the right is the Dodge A-100 van, which I found built up. Originally molded in red, it had a paint job consisting of a gold base, with a heavy coat of blue over the gold. (So thick you couldnt see the metallic effect the painter was going for.) After disassembly and stripping off the paint in brake fluid, I liked the patina look so much that I left it, just adding decals!

There was never a Zinger VW van model, but I'd sure like to see one!
