I got this Revell 07674 last Christmas as a present. Could anyone please speculate on which “SO” model, if any, this represents?
I did search this Forum without success for info on this kit.
Also anyone ever create Palm Green and create Sand Green from model paints? These may not be authentic for this model but they are my favorites

WOW! you guys have been building some amazing VW's! i love it
this is the last step on The Death Bus - added license plates, my son has a 3D printer, he made these for me, they say "SINNER" perfect for this bus!
did white with blue letters, just like Ohio
now, i think there is a market for custom made 1:24 1:25 model license plates. am i wrong? or am i right?
think about it, you could have custom plates that say anything, you want, you got 7 letter, numbers, even characters, think about it, your plates could say
SINNER
MY BUS
MY 68 BUG
U LOSE
I WIN
you could even have things the state would never approve of like
#&%$UI
HORNY
TITS
you get the idea, if you want custom plates, PM me, i will PM you his email, he takes paypal, $6 shipped to lower 48

ok, last post about The Death Bus - i added license plates, my son has a 3D printer he made these for me, they say "SINNER" which i think is super cool, did them in ohio plate colors, white with blue text
i told him this could be a nice little side business for him, $6 for 2 plates shipped to lower 48 states,
you can get anything, 7 digits max, letters, numbers, whatever you want, SOME EXPAMPLES
SINNER
MY BUG
CLARK68
MOMBUG
ULOSE
IWIN
you can even do stuff the state would never approve of, like
HONRY
TITS
you get the idea, pm me and i can send you his email to work it out with him, he uses paypal

have you checked out citadel/warhammer paints? they have a good range, mix well and flow realy nicely.
Hacksaw BoB - you missed out the diamante bumpers! (and baroque interior)

Thanks. I was hoping for a PG is a mix of x% green and y% of something else etc.
Same with Sand Green …

you could try getting those aerosols that are mixed for retouching and use acrylic...

Not my picture. Not my build. Seen on Facebook. The photo of this tractor in real life has been circulating all over social media and I've even had non VW people send it to me. This model builder decided to duplicate it and did a fine job. He did use a Porsche tractor which seems right over what ever the brand in the original was. Thought I would share with you all.

I also decided to add some license plates to my bus models; I’ve been thinking that the rear was too naked without something there. These, however, are the ‘G’ rated versions:

Nice!
These buses lend themselves to license plates.

My latest 1:35 projects. An old Dragon Kubel with gear drive attachment for starting stubborn Panzers. A drive shaft would be connected from. The drive unit thru a plug in the back of the tank to a fitting on the crankshaft. The buildings are an old Verlinden build form around 1986 and the Jagdtiger is a new Hobbyboss release of the first 3 built tgat had the Porsche designed suspension with 8 wheels on hull side mounted torsion bars.

I don't build a lot of cars but once in a while a guy needs to do something different and after spending 60 hours detailing the interior of my 1:16 scale King Tiger turret I needed a break and my wife had just given me this cool little Manx kit. It's an old AMT reissues the fit and castings leave a lot to be desired compared to modern kits. I threw away some parts and built my own, stripped the chrome off all the engine parts and added some brake lines with .5mm lead wire

Looks like the AMT rather than the Revell. I like your super detailing work. That's what I would need to take my Superbug to the next level. It uses the same chassis and running gear (pages 23-25.)
