Clic Loc Series: no need for cement or paint
The first subject in our range of Clic Loc 1/24 car models is a true classic: the Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) with its iconic two-tone design, a vehicle loved by millions worldwide. The body parts are molded in glossy plastic for a superior finish, and we have released both blue and red versions. These models, which build into masterpieces without the need for cement or paint, are a great new challenge for beginners and will be a delight for returning modelers, too.

About the Volkswagen Type 2 (T1)
March 1950 saw the debut of the Volkswagen Type 2 which took the much-loved Volkswagen Beetle as a base. An air-cooled 4-cylinder engine was employed at the rear of the boxy yet curved body. One of the most popular among the wealth of its variations was the “Samba” microbus, which had a 23-window version encircled by windows and employing a canvas roof. It accommodated 9 adults and was notable for its flat floor and twin side doors. The Type 2 (T1) was produced until 1967, and ever since has enjoyed massive popularity the world over.
