66 Karmann Ghia
My Tamiya 66 Karmann Ghia. It was featured in the Nov/Dec 2011 issue of Karmann Komment, the magazine of The Karmann Ghia Club of Great Britian.

Re: 66 Karmann Ghia
The Karman Ghia is one of the finest re-incarnations of the Beetle. IIRC back then it also was called the "(female) secretary´s Porsche" or "Sekretärinnenporsche" in German.
Lee, your really well done build is well deserved to be published in this mag! The metallic blue colour, the chrome trim and the fine little details make this one interesting and looking simply perfect! BTW: what scale is it?

Now there's something we don't see too often. I like it!

The X.O. of my first ship had one and he had it to where he supplied the state of Maine's Highway Patrol in tickets paid. To say he was a hot foot in that thing was an understatement.

Seeing the car brings good memories to me. "Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."
