About product

1:32 VW Beetle – a Starter Kit from Revell

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Volkswagen Beetle, known in Czech as the Käfer or the brouk, in 1:32 scale from the German manufacturer Revell. The Starter Kit edition is a complete starter package: according to the manufacturer, basic shades of water-thinnable acrylic paints, a brush, cement for plastic, decals and an instruction sheet are added to the parts. The smaller scale means a lower part count and a quicker build, which makes it a suitable choice for a first car model.

The real subject

The Volkswagen Type 1 was created to the design of Ferdinand Porsche before the Second World War, and after it the car became a symbol of the West German economic rise. Technically it went against the custom of its time: an air-cooled flat-four engine sat at the rear and drove the rear wheels, so the car needed neither a radiator nor a long drive shaft. It was built with modifications from the end of the 1930s until 2003 and, with more than twenty million units produced, it belongs among the most widespread cars in history.

Building and painting tips

The rounded body of the Beetle does not tolerate irregularities, so sand the joints and the traces of the mold carefully and spray a filler primer. Build up a gloss finish in thin layers, otherwise it will pool in the curves. Set the chrome-plated headlight rims, the trim strips and the bumpers apart with a silver or chrome paint only at the end, and the rubber window seals with a dark gray. A dark wash in the gaps of the hood, the doors and the engine lid will bring the finished model to life.

Who the model is for

  • Beginners who want everything they need in one package
  • Fans of Volkswagen and of automotive classics

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The basic paints, the brush and the cement are part of this package according to the manufacturer, other accessories are not, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

According to the manufacturer the kit itself, basic shades of acrylic paints, a brush, cement for plastic, decals and an instruction sheet. The contents differ between individual sets; what counts is the data on the box.

The appearance of the car changed over the decades of production, mainly in the windows, the lights and the bumpers. This is not stated here; what is decisive is the illustration and the instructions on the packaging.

The 1:32 scale has few parts and the paints and the cement are enclosed, so yes, for older children under the supervision of an adult. When working with cement and paints it is advisable to ventilate.

Sand the body, spray a filler primer and then apply several thin layers of paint instead of one heavy one. At the end the gloss can be evened out with a varnish compatible with the paint used.
