Volkswagen T1 Samba Bus 1/148 Scale

This new diecast model replicates the classic Volkswagen T1 Samba Bus in a two-tone Sealing Wax Red and Gray finish. It is produced by Oxford Diecast as an officially licensed collectible at 1/148 (N) scale. The model features detailed interior and exterior elements cast in diecast metal with some plastic parts. It arrives in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging inside a plastic display showcase.

Collectors seeking a compact licensed replica

This model suits adult collectors and hobby enthusiasts who want a small-scale, officially licensed Volkswagen bus for display. The fixed body has no opening doors, bonnet or boot, so it does not satisfy buyers who want interactive features or movable parts. The 1/148 scale makes it approximately one inch long, which may be too small for those who prefer larger display pieces. It is intended for adult collectors rather than children's play.

Ready to display straight from the box

The model comes sealed in a plastic showcase within the original box, so no assembly or preparation is required. Because the body has no openings, there are no loose panels or hinges to align during handling. The main risk is damaging the paint or small plastic details if the showcase is dropped or the model is removed for handling. Keep the showcase closed to preserve the mint condition.
