Why this kit matters

The Volkswagen Type 2 made its debut in March 1950, using the Volkswagen Beetle as its basis. It featured an air-cooled four-cylinder engine mounted at the rear of its boxy yet curved body.

Among the many Type 2 variations was the “Samba” microbus, including a 23-window version with a canvas roof. The Type 2 (T1) was produced until 1967 and has remained a popular classic vehicle. This Tamiya scale model represents the Samba version with its 23-window design.

How to use it

Assemble the colour-moulded parts using the Clic Loc snap-fit system. Cement and paint are not required. Side cutters, a modelling knife and tweezers are recommended for preparing and handling the parts during assembly. Stickers are included for details such as the window frames and meters.
