Why this kit matters

The Volkswagen Type 2 made its debut in March 1950, using the Volkswagen Beetle as its base. It featured a rear-mounted, air-cooled four-cylinder engine and became known in many forms as a practical transport vehicle.

The Samba was one of the best-known Type 2 variants. Its 23-window version featured a distinctive window-filled body, canvas roof and seating for up to nine adults. The Type 2 (T1) remained in production until 1967 and has since become a well-known classic vehicle.
