G'day Guys

Been looking for ages for a Kyosho Beetle to add to the VW collection, finally found a mint example.
Looks to have hardly been used. Not a spec of dirt anywhere, not so much as a scratch on the body, terrible paintjob but I already have a new body & decals for it so I'm going to have a field day with this one!
Tyres look brand new, not even a scratch on the wheels!
Awesome.
Paint job & action pics to follow!

G'day Guys,
Just finished my Kyosho beetle. Chromed the rims & the rear cage, fitted a SS driver with WW head, working front headlights, repro body painted metallic black. Beetle number plates, NOS bottle & 20 turn motor with a lipo will be fun.
Will take it to the beach soon for some decent action shots some video.
