Brent, you are making it a true replica of your own Syncro, aren't you? The same
color inside and out, I mean. It would look great if you take the Syncro to a
show!

Good idea! Then you can get some nice wheels too :-) Maybe some sport seats, a
Golf engine??? The list is long, and parts are cheap (LOL)

My favorite model-kit store still has a kit of the UN 7-pax bus. I have this kit
too, still unassembled. I will paint it to match my Syncro.
