Revell 1/16 VW T1 Kastenwagen/Panel Van

Developed from 1950 onwards and based on their iconic Beetle chassis, Volkswagen’s T1 transporter van has been produced in massive numbers and exported all round the world. Its distinctive v-shaped front end and split screen design is instantly recognisable! It featured an air-cooled 4 cylinder engine developing 30bhp which gave a top speed of 50mph (80km/h). Revell’s detailed model depicts a 1960s era support vehicle of the Porsche Race Service and features multi-part bodywork with opening doors and tailgate. The cab and load bay are also faithfully reproduced. A complete replica T1 boxer engine is also included and can be viewed once complete. The kit additionally includes chromed plastic hub caps and VW emblem, door handles and windscreen wipers.

Revell has been entertaining, inspiring, and educating model builders for over 70 years. Revell brand is a testament to the popularity of detailed plastic model kits that are affordably priced. Launched in 1943, Revell initially produced a wide range of products, including train sets, scale buildings and "action pull toys" recreating some of America's most popular automobiles. However, the brand found its niche with a line of fast-building "Highway Pioneers" plastic model car kits in the early 1950s. After their success, Revell focused exclusively on making models that were as authentic as they were enjoyable. Most recently we are introducing our newest line, Revell Junior Kit, which allows children as young as age 5 to assemble and dis-assemble for hours of creative play. Revell manufactures model kits suitable for all ages. Revell is proud to carry on the tradition of accuracy and provide a challenging, and enjoyable pastime for all model hobby enthusiasts.
