Default Re: VW bay-window transporter

I was *really* nervous about the tires, but the german van build that gave the 'Italeri 1/24 trailer tire' suggestion was top notch. I distrusted the translation more than the builder. (Mein deutch ist nicht sehr gut!) If i keep them letter out then they are technically not scale, as it says 22.5" rim with 65 series tire which means 42.2" tall. When on my bus tires are 27.5" tall due to scale change, just like stock Dicky. They'll stay letter out until someone calls me on it, i like markings and it makes me want to do valve stems. Highly OCD and nerding out to mention, i'm not that much of a rivet counter, but it's a perfect fit with great grip.

Thank you! It's a great base car to start with.
I think they're 1/16 scale women, and as long as they don't pose too much around 1/12 stuff it doesn't look creepy. I had one sitting in the 1/14 teardrop trailer and already had somebody ask about her being of legal age. Can't win some days.

It's still scale, and i play fairly well with others, most of the time...
