In this fourth and final post in the our “Up Close” close series featuring VW’s from Jada, we have the second Drag Beetle from V-Dubs Wave 4. Jada took a more tradition approach with the design of this one and stuck with a classic flames motif. While the choice of blue flames on yellow certainly catches the eye, there isn’t anything else that makes this particular addition stand out when placed next to the others in the Wave. The choice of running the blue over the headlights rather than detailing them realistically like the taillights seems odd.

In this third entry of this week’s Up Close segment, we switch from Buses to Beetles! Jada continues the Drag Theme with this great looking “Purple People Eater” VW Beetle from Wave 4. Excellent purple paint, a red interior and great monster-themed tampos really make this one look sharp. The most noteable detail has to be the bloodshot eyeball headlights!

It’s sleak and silver and looking fast while standing still! This week’s Up Close segment continues with the another great drag bus from Wave 4 of Jada’s V-Dubs line. This submarine-themed drag bus has metallic silver paint, portal-style windows, fantastic tampos and a really cool stance. What really sets it off is the blue striping around the wheels and the red accent around the headlights! Little bits of detail like that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!
