VW Type 2 Pickup Truck 1/24 Scale Plastic Model Kit Hasegawa 20556
The Volkswagen Type 2, known officially (depending on body type) as the Transporter, Kombi or Microbus, or, informally, as the Bus (US), Camper (UK) or Bulli (Germany), is a forward control light commercial vehicle introduced in 1950 by the German automaker Volkswagen as its second car model. Following - and initially deriving from - Volkswagen's first model, the Type 1 (Beetle), it was given the factory designation Type 2.[2]
As one of the forerunners of the modern cargo and passenger vans, the Type 2 gave rise to forward control competitors in the United States in the 1960s, including the Ford Econoline, the Dodge A100, and the Chevrolet Corvair 95 Corvan, the latter adapting the rear-engine configuration of the Corvair car in the same manner in which the VW Type 2 adapted the Type 1 layout.
European competition included the 1947-1981 Citroën H Van, the 1959-1980 Renault Estafette (both FF layout), and the 1953-1965 FR layout Ford Transit.
Japanese manufacturers also introduced similar vehicles, such as the Nissan Caravan, Toyota LiteAce and Subaru Sambar.
Like the Beetle, the van has received numerous nicknames worldwide, including the "microbus", "minibus",[3] and, because of its popularity during the counterculture movement of the 1960s, "Hippie van/bus".
Brazil contained the last factory in the world that produced the T2 series of Type 2, which ceased production on 31 December 2013, due to the introduction of more stringent safety regulations in the country.[4] This (after the 2002 termination of its T3 successor in South Africa) marked the end of the era of rear-engine Volkswagens, which originated in 1935 with their Type 1 prototypes.
The concept for the Type 2 is credited to Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon. It has similarities in concept to the 1920s Rumpler Tropfenwagen and 1930s Dymaxion car by Buckminster Fuller, neither of which reached production. Pon visited Wolfsburg in 1946, intending to purchase Type 1s for import to the Netherlands, where he saw a Plattenwagen, an improvised parts-mover based on the Type 1 chassis, and realized something better was possible using the stock Type 1 pan.[5] He first sketched the van in a doodle dated 23 April 1947,[6] proposing a payload of 690 kg (1,520 lb) and placing the driver at the very front.[1] The sketch is now in the Rijksmuseum.[7] Production would have to wait, however, as the factory was at capacity producing the Type 1.[1]
When capacity freed up, a prototype known internally as the Type 29 was produced in a short three months.[6] The stock Type 1 pan proved to be too weak so the prototype used a ladder chassis with unit body construction.[1] Coincidentally the wheelbase was the same as the Type 1's.[1] Engineers reused the reduction gear from the Type 82, enabling the 1.5 ton van to use a 25 hp (19 kW) flat four engine.[1]
Although the aerodynamics of the first prototypes were poor (with an initial drag coefficient of Cd=0.75),[1] engineers used the wind tunnel at the Technical University of Braunschweig to optimize the design. Simple changes such as splitting the windshield and roofline into a "vee" helped the production Type 2 achieve Cd=0.44, exceeding the Type 1's Cd=0.48.[8] Volkswagen's new chief executive officer Heinz Nordhoff (appointed 1 January 1948)[9] approved the van for production on 19 May 1949[1] and the first production model, now designated Type 2,[8] rolled off the assembly line to debut 12 November.[1] Only two models were offered: the Kombi (with two side windows and middle and rear seats that were easily removable by one person),[8] and the Commercial.[1] The Microbus was added in May 1950,[1] joined by the Deluxe Microbus in June 1951.[1] In all 9,541 Type 2s were produced in their first year of production.[8]
An ambulance model was added in December 1951 which repositioned the fuel tank in front of the transaxle, put the spare tire behind the front seat,[8] and added a "tailgate"-style rear door.[8] These features became standard on the Type 2 from 1955 to 1967.[8] 11,805 Type 2s were built in the 1951 model year.[10] These were joined by a single-cab pickup in August 1952, and it changed the least of the Type 2s until all were heavily modified in 1968

You are the Weathering Wizard!! The Dumbledore of the modeling world!! Absolutely love the weathering videos!! The Gandolf of styrene!!
I build 7 Vw buses from Hasegawa, and when i do the masking for the 2 tone body color, i paint first the lower color, because i find it much easier to mask that way
Was there ever such a thing as a shiny new VW Type 2? At the dealership is all. Once purchased they all got put into service. It was a rough life back then. In the 70's there were only Ford and Dodge vans, with the engine between the front seats and a VW Bus (Chevy was late to the party). If I had a nickel for every one of these that have been in my life, I'd have a pocket with enough nickels to wonder 'why all the nickels?'- WTF. This build is a beauty. All the ones still around have been restored - you built a proper 'in service' Type 2. Thanks.
Pretty neat looking pick-up. Like the Volkswagen vehicles.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. You are on my 'I'm thankful for' list. See you with a plate of Turkey Surprise casserole on Saturday.
Cool beans Chris, I like the old work truck look, very cool bud!
Very nice ! I hope I can get my hands on one.
Nice build
great job
If you can find them, the Mag Wheels from the Polar Lights Coke VW Beetle are a direct swap. Gets you a Wide Five set of EMPI - BRM and EMPi Five Spoke Mags! I just did the swap and they worked a treat! (I found two sets of the Polar Lights, VW Mags on eBay for cheap so it was a no brainer that really dressed up the pick up.
I got one, can't wait to build it. Great video Chris keep em coming and I'll keep watching. Happy Turkey Day
Nicely done Chris!
I have to get another one of these as I recently managed to get one of the last batch of resin conversions to make the double cab.
Really great work Chris stay safe and have a great holiday weekend
Nice work, just now worth the money my opinion, thx for the build.
Oh man combo this with the Hemi Under Glass kit to make a really sweeeewweeeet wheelstander!
Nice!
Excellent work on the weathering. You have a great touch for weathering. Thanks for sharing.
Love the weathering job on this one. I have the Microbus version of this kit and they do go together nicely. Now for Revell Germany to do the bay window pick up and panel van.
Happy Thanksgiving 2022 to all! Great video! Great model kit build!
Thanks! You too!
Awesome mate👍
Thanks for sharing this video. It turns out quite great building with only several simple steps!! Great job!
Quick and easy build. Turned out great. From the factory commercial type 2's were never delivered with the deluxe trim. Probably added by the 3rd or 5th owner. ☺️ I might have to pick up one of these.
Nice job, love it 👌
Nice, fun build. Turned out great, I think I will be keeping an eye out for one of these kits. 🇨🇦
We had the type 2 ute/pickup here in Australia, l only ever saw them in a muddy blue or a lightish grey. Only bright work I remember were the wipers, everything else was painted white including the VW roundel.
Fantastic build man. These videos are just the best. The T2 looks awesome weathered out. 👍🏻
Nice review & build, my only gripe with the Japanese kits is the engines as they do cheap skate on them due to all the aftermarket products available if you like to see details or plan to make them a vocal point. They are always a nice solid starter kit for projects though.
Have you ever considered a custom order Slot Car for one of you videos. I believe they run 1/24th scale.
The Possibilities Are ENDLESS 🏆🏆🏆 Awesome Build Chris, Thanks For Sharing Your Talents and Fun.
Here's Wishing You and ALL YOUR'S a Safe n Blessed Thanksgiving Sir, GBA🤗🤗 Gary.
VW Type 2 Splitty dash boards are always body color, in your case white. FYI.
OK thanks :)
Very awesome VW Type 2 pickup! That weathering job looks so real! I have been eyeing this one since I did both of the recent Revell T2 camper and bus! Very unfortunate about the decals falling apart, I built a Heller farm tractor not long ago and I had the same problems with their decals falling apart on me as well! Happy Thanksgiving Chris!
First comment, that's a first. :)
Very cool! The perfect parts truck in Volkswagon or Porsche dealership markings. Might also be cool slammed.
Chris, do you apply clear to the chrome parts to knock down the shine, or does it hold the detail paint better?
Both, the matte fades the shine and it gives tooth for the paint.

Thanks! Always learning.
Love to watch you build models sir! Your really talented And love your work and contemplating between rattle canning models or get the harbor freight airbrush kit just wondering why you never choose to air brush your models?
He has an airbrush, but as quick as he builds. Rattle cans are just more convenient for him. No need to clean the airbrush every time to change colors.
I own a few of them and have used them when I have to mix custom colors like the Mr Bean car, but spray cans work faster and no cleaning needed.
can we get a link to the decal pages please?
i thaught the dashboard had the bodycolour originally? But maybe someone decided to spruce it up a little!
Could be, another viewer says they were body color. Not that people don't swap out parts from one VW to the next all the time.
I don't do factory perfect builds or pretend to be an expert on that stuff, so I don't worry about it too much. Thanks! :)
front turn signals are all wrong. locating holes must be off. they should not cross the belt line and look more like the box art.
I don't remember 100% - but it seems to me that those "bed rails" were some kind of hard rubber on the 1 to 1 versions. A way to get a nice effect for this would be to
assemble as normal - but paint the rails separately with the Tamiya Black rubber color military paint - and then install after you have applied the body color. This is only
a suggestion - every one has their own way to do things. Since most of my builds are "kit bash" - I think this one has great potential for several different custom jobs !
