Thanks for this build series JD! I am starting the same kit for my wife and her love of Beetles and this is going to help me very much. New subscriber here from north Idaho and have a great day!

I like the Sharpie trick. Nice. I think the nail thing has two different grits as well.

Hello, I have just watched all 6 episodes of your VW model assembly manual and I am impressed with your accuracy and patience I bought this model and I want to put it together to have a smaller miniature of a large VW Kafer mogo from 1964 Congratulations and greetings from Poland.😎
