Reviews : Hasegawa Volkswagen Micro Bus

Hasegawa has a reputation of molding excellent model kits, and this is a prime example of that. Every part fits flawlessly! Though I was hoping for a little more interior detail, once assembled the interior isn't all that visible through the windows, anyway. It's a curb-side style, but, again, not a big deal. The finished kit looks awesome, even with my mediocre abilities. It did take five days to do the belt-line decals, because each phase HAD to dry and set to avoid messing them up with handling. I believe you won't be sorry building this model.

A very good model to complete. You get two styles of bumpers to use; chromed and ready-to-paint. You also get two styles of side mirrors to choose from. Check your chromed parts very carefully; my kit had a broken side mirror of the smaller round style. Had to use the larger rectangular style. Be very careful with decals as they are extremely fragile.

First encounter with a Hasegawa kit. Very little cleaning and parts fit nicely. I took some liberties by altering the seating arrangement, added bucket seats and a roof rack. Decals were good quality and there was plenty of room for your imagination. Highly recommend this kit except if you’re looking for a detailed engine.

Excellent model. Only problem is the VW emblem on the very front is part of the plastic and not applied after the paint job which makes getting the chrome perfect very difficult. Other than that, not bad

Was a fun kit to build, I have never built a Hasagawa before and looking forward to the next, I decided to switch up the color scheme to make it look a little more modern.
