This Tamiya Monster Beetle was a welcomed gift for me on Christmas Eve 2015. So I am quite pleased at presenting the final build footage and result on the day before Christmas 2016. Hope you will enjoy! I certainly enjoyed building it! Many more Monster Beetle videos to come.

Disclaimer: For the keen eyed and experienced Tamiya Monster Beetle enthusiast one mistake can be observed. First I forgot the front piece and then I installed it the wrong way at 0:41. It can be seen in the correct position from 1:19 and onwards.
