Brief historical description:
Volkswagen Type2 Micro Bus — one of the world’s best-known buses, a symbol of mobility and freedom. It gained popularity in post-war Europe and especially in the United States in the 1950s and 60s. It was used both as a family vehicle and a delivery van. The MOON Equipped version, custom-made by the legendary California MOONEYES workshop, is an automotive icon in the worlds of hot rods and custom cars, often seen at American rallies and drag racing events.

Recommendation:
I highly recommend this model to both advanced modellers and intermediate fans of classic cars as well as retro tuning enthusiasts. The unique MOONEYES decal and metal components make this kit stand out among other kits of this class and scale.

Assembly difficulty level: 3/5 (intermediate – requires precision and basic modelling experience, ideal for learning how to assemble metal accessories and apply decals).

The kit does not include glue or model paints – these are required to complete the model as you wish.
