Tamiya VW Beetle M04L Re-released has arrived!
This nostalgic "Bug" is hard to go around without buying it. The Volkswagen Type 1, or more commonly known as the Beetle or Bug, was produced from 1938 until 2003, and is still one of the most beloved cars of all time. As a small economical "People's Car" built to pre-war specifications, the Beetles simple design proved to be extremely reliable, with its rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-four engine and suspension system withstanding even combat conditions of WWII.
Its distinctive aerodynamic shape was the source of its now famous "Beetle" name, and the round shape also inspired such monikers as "bubble" and 'turtle" in various countries around the world. Idolized in popular culture since the 1960's, the car has made numerous appearances in movies such as The Love Bug and children all over the world will recognize the yellow Autobot 'Bubblebee' from the Transformers series of comics and cartoons. The original Beetle was finally replaced by the New Beetle after an amazing production run that spanned 65 years from it first launch.
No electronics included!
