Is this one in progress or finished? I like the look of the chain mail in the openings already. :unsure:
I still have to make some small details and the diorama. I have already assembled the figures and you can see the current paint job of the Beetle here:

Is there a car with only one pedal? How do the gas and brakes work? Thank you!

Is there not another pedal that hangs down out of the center of the dash? It may look like a small spoon....
If this is what you mean, it is not in the set. As far as I know, a manual transmission has clutch, brake, gas pedals. Automatic has brakes and gas, but I've never heard of just one pedal.

Who is the kit maker and what is the model called by name. If it is a custom maybe it has been modified to be an auto transmission. On 1:1s I have seen center steering mounted spark and speed levers, left footed gas pedals, and various style of pedals. What is the detail on your steering wheel? And on the dash itself?
My guide is a different edition (it's from the internet) it even has a photo of 1 pedal and 2 pedals not just a text. Coupe has a steering wheel gearbox, hotrod has a floor gearbox. It also says to cut off the steering wheel if you want to build the other one.

I found it. It's not in the instructions but there's a small pedal on the floor.

Looks quite an interesting kit to me. Good job on the weathering and rust. (y)
I just don´t get why there is a convertible on the box and a VW beetle inside??? Did I miss something?
BTW: Who offers these kits and what scale are they.
Car: Tamiya VW Beetle 1966 1:24
Figures: Master Box 24082 1:24 "The Legendary 60's series. On new adventures!" Scale model kit, Plastic model 3 figures 70 mm / 2.75 inches

For the figures, the car and the spare wheel are for illustration only. The back of the box is also a bit misleading because if you don't look closely you might think the wheel is part of the set. The bag is not even on the front of the box.

Is it good to make the ignition cables from LAN cable? Are the ends of the distributor about the same size (0.85-0.86mm with insulation), or is it just the connector that size and the cable thinner? Can I get a good cable thickness by cutting the insulation off the middle of the cable and using the insulation as a connector?

I've never done this before and I haven't seen any thickness in the products on the webshops. Thank you!!

Getting scale matching small parts is a pain when starting. Eventually I have found different suppliers. Unfortunately, supplier #1 has these parts, whereas you only get the other parts from supplier #2, and so on.

Getting those very thin cables, pls check ScaleProduction 1:24/25 - ScaleProduction 1:24/25 . They sell a lot of fine stuff for reasonable prices.

I otherwise have used old LAN cables or try out a stripped HDMI cable. The strands in there are even a bit finer.

I've known about this technique for years but only just tried it for painting my '37 Ford Pickup.
