An interesting development in Germany http://www.bulli-modell.de/
an interesting model of an iconic vehicle. I would get this as something different to my usual stuff.

Time will only tell?? Now there's an answer that goes both ways! Thanks Mr T!!!!!  To add to this, I am the official Photographer for the Heckmondwike Rotary Club Classic Car Rally. Look what was here this year.  Bought as a dilapidated wreck and restored back to absolute mint condition - The interior and everything. Fantastic work! Now you can see why I want to build this partwork!

This is a fantastic model and I would subscribe to it. It's something a bit different.

I really hope this gets a release in the UK. Real shame they have gone for the Samba version a camper would have been much more fun, but I guess much more expensive. If I buy into it i would have to do a conversion I think  “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

The Samba was the most luxurious version of the VW T1 and is now the most sought after version. When Volkswagen started producing the successor of the T1 (T2) the company also stopped producing the Samba so there are no Samba's in later versions of the Volkswagen Transporter.

Fantastic partwork, really hope to see this one in the UK soon I guess an experienced modeller could convert this to a camper if desired which would make a great project. Steve

That's right Mr T, and this fantastic Partwork model reflects that! Count me in if it arrives at Model Space.
