1/24 Scale Diecast Volkswagen Beetle

This Maisto model reproduces the 1973 Volkswagen Beetle in red at 1/24 scale. It is built from diecast metal with plastic parts and arrives in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging. The replica is officially licensed and aimed at adult collectors and hobby enthusiasts.

Opening Frunk and Doors

The single feature that distinguishes this replica is the functional opening frunk and doors. These moving parts reveal the detailed interior and engine bay without compromising the true-to-scale exterior lines. Buyers who need a sealed display model without moving panels should look elsewhere.

Detailed Interior and Exterior Finish

The model delivers a fully detailed interior, exterior and real rubber tyres within its approximately 6 by 3.25 by 2.75 inch footprint. It comfortably satisfies shelf display and close inspection but runs out of utility for play scenarios that demand rugged handling or larger scales.
