Italeri - 1/24 VW 1303S BEETLE CABRIOLET

The Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet (convertible) first appeared in 1971 based on the Super Beetle. The car received a number of distinctive updates including the so-called 'elephant foot' stop/turn signals and wrap around windshield in 1973. The 1974 models introduced the 5mph impact bumbers while the 1975 model moved the front turn signals from the top of the front fenders to the the bumper. 1975 also saw the changeover to fuel injection for the car's 1600cc engine. The Volkswagen (People's Car) Type 1, which started production in 1938, would slowly evolve through the late 1970s before disappearing from Volkswagen dealers, but through it all, the Beetle retained its signature shape and remains a classic car, especially with those of us who grew up with them!

Italeri has reissued their circa 1975 VW Beetle Cabriolet kit that was first produced in 1983 and based upon their 1975 Super Beetle (hardtop) first released in the late 1970s. Molded in white styrene, this kit is presented on two parts trees plus body shell and chassis, one tree of chromed parts, and one tree of clear parts. The kit is a simple build straight out of the box but still features some nice details. The experienced modeler will spend far more time painting this kit than assembly to bring out those details.
