That's in the box.

First I had to select, what parts I don't need and sorted them out. As usual, I built components together for painting.

The "inside" of it was quickly done. Than filler the body parts outside and tape them together to paint the body color..

I don't like this 100s-part-body. You see, that it is light ivory inside - like Dr. Oetker?

I've chosen a simple gray for it.

After it is dry, I'll decide whether it'll get a clear coat or not.

No chrome. All black. Like a standard Bulli.

![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/7/6/4/1198764-18821-22-720.jpg)
Half of the body is done. I let it sit a couple days before the rest follows.

The last picture before the passenger door was shut.

Thank you 🙂 I'm aming for a vehicle, which was only repainted to be sold extremely expensiv 😄 So the interior will be a little used but underneath it should be look like street used with overpainting of the new color

A little more is done. Ready to complete the body. A couple of parts and it's done. Crossing fingers for good fittings.

The last steps are started. I take my time to get it together properly. The "tape fitting" was pretty good so I'm looking forward positively to get it good together.

The latest and last pictures. Yesterday I accomplished this kit. Cool. My first Bulli. It's not perfect but I'm satisfied.
Kind a crappy: did a lot of work on the doors and was very careful that nothing (the pins) brakes. I clicked them in place, closed them and - I don't get them opened again. They slid underneath the water rail of the roof and snap in place. Damned. Ok. The doors will be shut. If I had known this on the beginning, I won't have paid that much attention.

Thank you Tom 🙂 Yes, those doors.... I will never be a friend of this kit and aaaaaall those, which base on it. It's my second T1 by Revell and none was a smooth built.
Maybe, only maybe, I'll give the bus (VW T1 Bus (Revell 07675, 1:24)) another chance.

I don't know, how could I missed this build...
Az usual, you did it again! Great color combo, looking so elegant (if a Bully could be....)! Just one thing: on the 9th picture I see some seam lines, and next time you should drill the exhaust, and paint it flat black inside.

Thank you, mates! Appreciate your comments.
@Julian ... The kit is done. You can see the gallery within the project 😉
@Istvan ... The seam line at the edge to the engine good (how can I describe that!)? I see a half of a line in that area of the left hinge. Okilidokili. More attention at the next build.
I thought, a tip of black on the exhaust will be enough. I'll check that to improve it somehow.

Only a Transporter. No "Dr. Oetker" at oll. But maybe it was one?
