Hallo!

After I buy the 1:35 Kübelwagen-Kit from Heller, I saw that the top is not usable for me. So I tryed to build this part scratch. Now I´m not sure - should I complete my work - is it usable? Please take a look and tell me your opinion.

Wolf,

Keep going, it looks to good to turn back and forget about it. Actually it looks pretty real. I would keep going and maybe use Kleen ex, or the tissue paper that you blow your nose into for the ragtop. Austria, Arnold Schwarzzeneger is from there, right?

That's a nice job you have done there. It looks OK to me but I would wait until the top canvas has been added before making my mind up fully.

I do agree, keep it going! It looks very real, but the most important thing is: Are you satisfied with the results? Because YOU gonna look every day to this model, so I presume you must be pleased with the results, but remember, it´s suppose to be FUN!
Keep up the work and keep us posted with pics...
Cheers

Go for it. you have a ways to go before it is finished. I have no doubt that it will be a total sucess when finished. Think outside the "box" and it will come. Keep posting photos of your progress. I am watching with great interest.
