the handiwork of Fred Clarke who took up model making when he retired 'to fill the time'. he's made about 50 models from scrap wood and old plumbing bits and seems to have had a VW phase. article about him here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn8re4dg1v0o?a...VkF92OgBIA

OK VWDog, you mentioned previously about a VW Type 82e 
This ARNOLD Split window VW went through the Restor-Version Shop
and was converted to a type 82e KdF Wagen about 10 years ago . . . .

Another Southlandz Model car Swap Meet and Contest has come and gone. This year there were more than 320 models
entered in 40 categories! Competition was extremely tough, but I managed to win four awards (one 2nd and three 3rds).
Some of my entries included:
Taxi Herbie
The Bubble Bus
Bugaboo and Bug Out
The small 1/32 Revell snap kit
Pyro fire car, Aachen Germany
IMC gasser
and the Revell California Bug I built 50 years ago!
I didn't expect the California Bug to win anything, but it's not many builders who keep their models for so long, plus the
three-tone fade paint job was pretty bold for a kid!
Next year's special classes witll include VW and Porsche.
