    This is the VW Kafer split window Blue in 1:18 Scale by Schuco.  This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most authentic replication. Developed for a government contract in the 1930s by the Stuttgart design office Porsche, the VW Beetle became the world’s best-sellingcar over the course of its 65-year production history, overtaking the previous record holder, the Ford T model known as “Tin Lizzy”.The most outstanding features of the “Beetle” were its revolutionary streamlined shape, an air-cooled 4-cylinder boxer engine, acutting-edge platform chassis and a newly developed torsion bar suspension. Continuous improvements were made to the series over theyears. Evidence shows that no less than 78,000 technical changes were made to the VW Beetle from 1948 to 1974. During a meeting todiscuss the VW Beetle in 1954, the former Managing Director of the Volkswagen plant, Heinrich Nordhoff, remarked: “We are convincedthat salvation lies not in new designs, however bold and magnificent they may be, but in the consistent and never-ending developmentof even the smallest details to maturity and perfection. This is the key to truly surprising success”. The all-new 1:18 resin model ofthe VW Beetle also sports a wide range of intricate details and is an essential addition to every VW beetle and model car collection.
