Its all I have , Its going ahead once I get my wind gauge I expect to gather some information and photos from it, despite it being just 5" inches long.

If I see a bigger one, I will get it, they come in large sizes for kids toys, The Barbie New Beetle is about 1/5th scale (28" long) A friends daughter had one at one point.. I will see what I can turn up in the months to follow at the second hand junk stores.

edit:

I just checked eBay , the biggest it I seen was a 1:18th scale for $30

I think I will check a couple of the 2nd hand stores in the next city over , when I'm there visiting tomorrow. It would be nice to find a 1/5 or 1/8th scale Beetle. I have a 1/8th scale RC truck ,it's about 2ft long , it would be a nice scale to work with for the Beetle..
