Classic Hot Hatch in 1/24 - Italeri 1/24 VW Golf GTI First Series

The first-generation VW Golf GTI set a new benchmark for compact sportiness in the 1970s. This Italeri 3622 kit reproduces that era in 1/24 scale, letting builders recreate the hallmark design with careful detail. The project is ideal for modellers who enjoy period cars and accurate miniatures.

Authentic Lines and Modelling Appeal

Known originally for its lively 1.6 litre engine and sharp handling, the GTI's character translates well to scale. Italeri models the car's distinct hatchback shape and signature grille stripe without over-complicating parts, so it appeals to both seasoned hobbyists and those expanding their collection.

Build Satisfaction and Presentation

Piece fit and instruction support a rewarding assembly. Finished, the model presents as an authentic small-scale classic that fits well on a shelf or within a grouped collection of period vehicles.

Yes. While it offers fine details, the Italeri 3622 layout is manageable for modellers who have completed at least one or two kits and want to learn more advanced finishing.
The kit includes key interior components and basic engine bay detail to convey the GTI layout at 1/24 scale, suitable for a display model rather than full mechanical detail.
Use model-specific acrylic or enamel paints and thin coats for an even finish. Mask the grille stripe and trim carefully to match the original GTI look.
Yes, small upgrades like photo-etched badges or fine wiring can enhance realism, but the out-of-the-box kit already captures the car's key features.
