VOLKSWAGEN BUS - HERE'S A KITBASH CHALLENGE FOR THE NEW REVELL KIT

SMN HIPPY WORLD
News that the 1:24 scale Volkswagen Microbus kit is now being released as a delivery van gave us food for thought when we saw some pix of a snowmobile-style VW bus.

The new Revell VW bus kit looks really interesting, and underpinning it with a set of caterpillar tracks from a tank kit could make a nifty model, highly suitable to enter in a competition - especially if it ws in a suitable diorama display.

Adding the tracks shouldn't be too difficult, as each side-cut is a simple one, straight between the front and rear wheel arches. You could also add an LED light on the roof, and even better, add the lift-up centre-section. As you can see, the VW beast is actually a mobile disco. Once the roof is raised, big PA speakers swing out on pedestal arms. Then all you do is crack up the volume, down a few beers, wait for sundown, smile at the girls and have a ball!

The pix of the VW Discobus were sent in without a credit, so if you know the source, let us know. Thanx.
