Description

A true design icon

Few vehicles are as instantly recognisable as the first-generation Volkswagen Type 2. As a camper it became a symbol of freedom and long summer journeys, and restored examples still draw crowds at classic car shows today. This set takes that familiar shape and turns it into a large-scale model. It appeals to car enthusiasts who prefer their collection on a shelf, as well as to anyone who remembers holidays in a camper and wants a reminder of those trips.

Built for adult fans

Creator Expert was the line for more demanding models aimed at teenagers and adults, and the T1 was one of its early large vehicles. At 1,332 pieces spread over 237 distinct part types, the build strikes a good balance between repetition and variety. There are no minifigures, as the model is built at a scale far larger than minifigure size. If you have tackled a few bigger sets before, the process should feel steady and satisfying rather than overwhelming.

Colour and character

White, Red, Black and Light Bluish Grey are the most common colours in the parts data. The bright white and red give the model a cheerful, holiday feel, while the darker tones add contrast. On a shelf it stands out without looking garish. For reuse, the large number of red and white parts is worth noting, as both colours work in countless builds, from fire stations and shopfronts to your own vehicles and seaside scenes.

Parts list and reuse

Since the camper dates from 2011, most copies today are bought second-hand. The complete parts list below lets you check every element and colour so nothing is missing before you start building. If you eventually retire the van from display, the What can I build? tool on this page shows which other sets you could put together, fully or partly, using the same pieces, which is a good way to keep a retired model's parts in use.
