Baja Bug: Class 11

[Blazerbogger]

I got this SWEET Tamiya M-04 Beetle for Christmas and I built it yesterday. I've been working on the body and cosmetics and all it's waiting for now are the racing decals. It's fully ball-raced and has Tamiya Hornet front tires all around.


Starting the build.

Finishing the build.

Thanks! I'm modeling it after a real class 11 bug. It will likely have a light bar too.

for some reason i always thought that kit was a hardbody

The stock body is lexan, but there is an aftermarket ABS shell made by Kamtec.

Very cool! I like that kit a lot!

I took it to the baseball diamond this afternoon, but it was still a little soggy from all the snow that has been melting. Most of the pics are a bit blurry, and only a couple turned out okay. I also started on the light bar.

That is too cool. I have always wanted to do a Class 11 style build...."thumbsup"..

Thanks! I was hoping I'd be the first to build a class 11 bug.

I finished the light bar. I still need to find some number decals for the doors.


Lights were cut off of my old Clodbuster light bar.

Light bar painted red.
