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" has become its most popular.
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 first generation of the Volkswagen Type 2 with the split windshield, informally called the Microbus, Splitscreen, or Splittie among modern fans, was produced from 8 March 1950 through the end of the 1967 model year. From 1950 to 1956, the T1 (not called that at the time) was built in Wolfsburg; from 1956, it was built at the completely new Transporter factory in Hanover. Like the Beetle, the first Transporters used the 1100 Volkswagen air-cooled engine, an 1,131 cc (69.0 cu in), DIN-rated 18 kW (24 PS; 24 bhp), air-cooled flat-four-cylinder 'boxer' engine mounted in the rear. This was upgraded to the 1200 - an 1,192 cc (72.7 cu in) 22 kW (30 PS; 30 bhp) in 1953. A higher compression ratio became standard in 1955; while an unusual early version of the 30 kW (41 PS; 40 bhp) engine debuted exclusively on the Type 2 in 1959. Any 1959 models that retain that early engine today are true survivors. Since the engine was totally discontinued at the outset, no parts were ever made available.
The early versions of the T1 until 1955 were often called the "Barndoor"[14][15] (retrospectively called T1a since the 1990s), owing to the enormous rear engine cover, while the later versions with a slightly modified body (the roofline above the windshield is extended), smaller engine bay, and 15" roadwheels instead of the original 16" ones are nowadays called the T1b (again, only called this since the 1990s, based on VW's retrospective T1,2,3,4 etc. naming system.). From the 1964 model year, when the rear door was made wider (same as on the bay-window or T2), the vehicle could be referred to as the T1c. 1964 also saw the introduction of an optional sliding door for the passenger/cargo area instead of the outwardly hinged doors typical of cargo vans.
In 1962, a heavy-duty Transporter was introduced as a factory option. It featured a cargo capacity of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) instead of the previous 750 kg (1,653 lb), smaller but wider 14" roadwheels, and a 1.5 L, 31 kW (42 PS; 42 bhp) DIN engine. This was so successful that only a year later, the 750 kg, 1.2 L Transporter was discontinued. The 1963 model year introduced the 1500 engine - 1,493 cc (91.1 cu in) as standard equipment to the US market at 38 kW (52 PS; 51 bhp) DIN with an 83 mm (3.27 in) bore, 69 mm (2.72 in) stroke, and 7.8:1 compression ratio. When the Beetle received the 1.5 L engine for the 1967 model year, its power was increased to 40 kW (54 PS; 54 bhp) DIN. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Sweet look at a lovely little kit. Some figures sitting in chairs around a fire and you have a simple diorama.
I finally got this kit 11 months after watching this unboxing video. Had to watch it again!
I used to work with a guy named Frank. He had a restored VW camper that was turquoise with a tan interior. I should get this and build it for him.
Thanks for watching!
Man ALIVE They're NOT Playing When They State THIS a Level 5. WOWSERZZ TONS OF DETAILS !!!! Thanks For Sharing Chris n God Bless All.
No doubt! Thanks for watching!
My only complaint is no chrome bumpers.
A Kool kit that requires skill!!!
Thanks for watching!
That kit is unbelievable.
Thanks for watching!
I'm building a replica of my 1965 Chevy Travel Cruiser van. 1965 was first year Chevy built a pop top type camper van "in house" and only eleven of them were built to test the reaction of the buying public. I'm using an aftermarket resin 1965 Chevy van body on a Little red wagon chassis. But until now had no idea where I was going to find jalousie windows for it, So thank you for this review, and Thank you Revell for making such a great looking kit That a replica of my old VW bus is going to be next!
My dream vehicle. I had a 68 bug I did a pan-off restoration.
I built the 1/16 scale model the samba bus. What Wonderful build.
Thanks for watching!
Nice unboxing! You can do soooo much with that kit, it's a MUST have!! 👍👍👍
It really is!
I started this one about 4 or so months ago Chris and I really wish I’d been able to see you build this one before I started mine, it’s tricky! I’ve learned so much from your videos, really appreciate it.
You can do it!
Gotta add this to the shopping list to go with my 23-window Microbus.
Ennjoy!
The real ones are worth what, $100k now ?
I’ve been waiting to see this model get done!
Revell Germany make some great kits. All you need are surfboards!
Yes they do!
So many neat things included with this one. Always thought it would be fun to have one of these.
Thanks!
Ah, a skill level 5, now were cook'n with gas. I just got mine today. Thanks for posting the un boxing.

Can't wait to get this one, I just ordered three. Great videos Chris, keep em coming, I'll keep watching.

Wow, can't wait to see this one. I have a brother-in-law that had an early 70s VW camper, it was red and white and was our party wagon, Lol.
Hope you enjoy it!
Oh nice, got to get this kit, went camping as a teen in one of these brings back fond memories👍

Looks like a top level kit... ✌😎
Plenty of parts & choices !
Thank you for the video ☺
No problem 👍
I’ve been a Lego guy for years. But now I’ve built all the adult big expensive sets and have been binging your videos for weeks. I think it’s time to step into the modeling hobby.
Enjoy your new hobby!
Cool kit. Great review. Thanks for sharing Chris.
Thanks for watching!
Sweet looking ride with lots to do to or with!
You got that right!
Looks like a great kit Chris thank you for sharing

I've built the closed van version of this model. Fitment and detail is awesome. One of the best Revell kits around 👍👍
It sure is!
Thank you again for spending my money 😏. Great video, this kit has been on my list for awhile
Hope you enjoy it!
Sweet kit my buddy just got his thanks for sharing
No problem 👍
Pretty.
Thanks for watching!
A really well made kit, I love it and bought it after launching in Germany. So many styrene, that it won't fit back in the box after unpacking 😄.
Now I'm waiting, what you are making with it.
Thanks for watching!
A good review of a very impressive model kit.
Thanks for watching!
Wowzza
That's why they call it Stash. 😊
Thanks for watching!
I bought one but haven't started it yet, can't wait though should be a fun build!
Thanks for watching!
excellent review my friend looks a really well detailed kit thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
This will look good next to the R-M Vanagon camper
Thanks for watching!
Wow huge kit going to grab me 1
Enjoy!
This such a awesome kit. I'm yet to buy it.
I picked one of these up last week, thanks, Chris! I hadn't opened it to look yet. Are you going to do a build video on this one? (Please?)
Not sure yet. Thanks for watching!
Just wondering if this will get a full build video. I already have the kit. Love watching what you do with them. Learn a lot of cool tips and tricks watching your builds. My most common problem is color choices.
We'll see, I never say no.
@@hpiguy If you want to focus on a special technique, how about using paint to simulate al that interior woodwork?
That thing is intense
It is!
Love your videos...I just got this kit!! Did you build it? How was it? Would love to see how it turned out.
Will you be doing a build of this one soon? Love the channel.
Not soon, no. Thanks!
Great unboxing. I made the Samba bus kit which this was based on last year. It's definitely not for beginners! I love the look of the interior with the plaid, curtains and kitchen. Amazing.
I think there are more seats on this kit than you need as they have kept some sprues from the older kit.
Awesome! Thank you!
At 4:09 on your video, those are the heater/defroster tubes. Those tubes carry hot air from the engine fan up to the front of a real VW bus for the heat / window defroster. Those tubes rust most of the time and you will not get any heat or warm air to defrost the windshield. The Chevrolet Corvair worked the same as VW. Ralph Nader deemed the Corvair unsafe at any speed because he said engine exhaust was being pumped into the car that way. They never really did much about VW vehicles. Go figure.
Thanks!
Greetings Chris, so are you going to do a build video on this kit ?
Not sure yet. Thanks for watching!
I'd love to build this kit as the Libyan van from Back to the Future!
I don't know how they found me!
That’s not exhaust tubing in the pan, those are the cabin heater riser tubes 👍
You are correct
Haven’t built a model in a while but might pick this up for that price point and custom it as the panel but slam it to the ground.
Yeah, if this was a Japanese kit it would be $80. Crazy how nice the price on this is!
@@hpiguy yeah even if not built at that price point it’s still a heck of a deal and it’s around if not slightly cheaper than a pre-built diecast version with less opening parts in a 3 in 1 type of kit. Also the parts not used in main build could be used in a parts store diorama/display. I know you have so much on your plate with models but I really hope to see you build this up one day.
Hi, many thanks for all videos, you are so great. Do you think to do this model, I love it, have a nice day
Thanks a lot!
This really is on my to do list , don’t know why revell don’t put those curtains in their truck kits
Thanks for watching!
i want one!
Enjoy! Thanks!
How do you confuse a Brit? Post a new video so it shows on their subscription on Wednesday morning instead of Wednesday night, so he spends the first hour of his day thinking it’s Thursday!! In other news though, I’ve been thinking of getting one of those, thanks for the review.
LOL, there will be a full build video as usual today to set you back on track. Enjoy!
This kit seems very fun :) And nicely detailed, chassis apart (the exhaust mold in the chassis... why???) But I think this kit will join my pile one day :)
It's heater pipes. A kind viewer corrected me.
Heater piping goes forward, exhaust goes rearward.
What an awesome kit. Would love to have a go at it. Are you building it?
By the way they are heater pipes underneath not exhaust 😀.
That makes more sense than exhaust since the engine is already in the back! Thanks!
I want a 65 VW bug model.
I'm disappointed Chris I was hoping you would do the full build😢😢
Well, can't make everyone happy all the time. Thanks for watching!
Is it normal to buy kits faster than you can build one?? I wanna add this to my collection and I haven't finished any of the last 5 I have bought LOL!
100% normal. Continue.
That's why they call it 'Stash'. 😊
I'd GO with Both of The Answers Above just To Be Cooolll ,,,,🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
4:08 in not the exhaust but heating hoses
me like'em
RJ
Thanks for watching!
The real buses bumpers were never chrome/silver they were most off white color
Another really cool model I'd love for you to build for us!
Maybe one day!
