I haven't built the Ghia, but the Cadet bug isn't too tough to build. The one in the photo is one I actually took apart and rebuilt.

My philosophy is, if any parts have been glued, the model is fair game to build.

Albert, I've had good luck using Easy-Off oven cleaner to take stubborn paint off of old kits-
HOWEVER- since this kit is so old, I'd test it on a hidden part if possible. |

If You put old models in the freezer, old glue usually "gives" a lot more easily, & soaking chromed parts in chlorine bleach leaves them without
chrome...

I just built another Revell street machine pink beetle. I had one a long time ago that was painted green and customized but I wanted to get another one and
build it box stock so I got one of ebay for $8.00. I also have 2 of the woodstock hippy bugs and a revell convertible. Then I have a gunze oval and a tamiya
66. I have many other VW and other make models as well.
