If you are seriously into all things aircooled and VW, you may just have seen this...
For those that haven't...
This is a FULL-SIZE Sand Scorcher - meticulously copied by it's owner over 5 years as a true replica of the Sand Scorcher he got when he was little.
Right down to the large bolts that would hold his bodyshell clips - were he ten times bigger ! :D
This man has GOT to be one of the World's most serious Tamiya modellers...?
The text within each page cannot be easily read - please purchase the magazine if your are interested.
Truly - AMAZING - and road legal !
The best bit in MY opinion - is the wire receiver aerial coiled up the mast !
What do YOU all think ? ;)

April issue is out now - with 5 equally interesting Beetles on the cover - though none are Tamiya replicas !

It's amazing how many different styles can be achieved with an old Beetle and some imagination...!

Yes - there are two.
This was the first... and is for sale as a road-going vehicle.

...mind you - I expect that if there is much more interest in displaying it around the world - it may not be sold !
