## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much paint and glue is needed to complete this model?**
A: How much do you have? Ok, I'm kidding. I painted the body with a can of spray paint from Auto Zone. They have these smallish cans there that are supposed to be for spot repairs on real cars. I found a nice metallic blue that looked gorgeous. One can will paint 4 to 5 model cars. For the frame (VW guys call it the "pan") I bought a large can of flat black Rustoleum from Home Depot and it will paint a dozen or so chassis. For the interior and all the engine details I bought a Testors Promotional Enamel Paint Set. That gave me plenty of different colors from which to choose. As for glue, I bought one small container of Zap-a-Gap at a local hobby store. This is a Cyano-acrylate that you can use for almost everything on the model EXCEPT you must NOT use on windows. For that, I use Elmers White glue. Find a YouTube video on how to glue in model car windows with white glue. The little bottle of Zap-a-Gap (or equivalent) super glue will do dozens and dozens of models. If you are buying this for a gift, you could spend a few coins getting set up but, in the end, it all comes back in hobby enjoyment.

**Q: Do the doors and the front hood open?**
A: No, only the rear door can be mounted on open position.

**Q: How many parts does this kit have?**
A: Hello,

This kit has 125 parts.

Regards,
Sam

**Q: Do you need specific tools to complete the build or is everything needed for assembly included?**
A: Everything included
