Revell VW T1 Samba Bus Kit Skill level: 5 Scale: 1:16 Length: 272 mm Parts: 223 The legendary VW special edition model of the T1 was exclusively designed for passenger transportation. Full, wrap-around windows and a retractable canvas sun roof were just a few of the features that drove the hippies of the sixties and seventies positively mad for the Samba. It also featured extensive seating, large doors, an easy-to-maintain boxer engine, and that cool, rounded foreign look that eluded American automobiles. Even though it was originally intended for taking tourists through the Alps, it became an icon for hippies, surfers, and more.
