The 1967 Volkswagen Type 2 Pick Up Truck is a standout classic admired by model builders and vintage vehicle collectors. Its recognisable profile and practical design made it popular in the 1960s. Hasegawa's 1/24 scale offering makes it possible to build a detailed miniature that honours the original truck's character.
Known as the Transporter or Kombi, the Type 2 combined simple mechanics with a friendly aesthetic. The original model featured a flat-four engine and rear-wheel drive, traits reflected in styling cues on the kit. Model makers can appreciate how the kit mirrors these historical details during assembly.
The Hasegawa kit includes finely moulded parts that benefit from careful preparation and assembly. Attention to clean joins and paint application will produce an accurate display piece. Finished models show well on shelves or in themed dioramas, capturing a slice of motoring history.
