1966 Volkswagen VW Beetle 1/24 RR Chassis Plastic Model Kit with Rio Asaka Figure - Hasegawa 52465  [HA-52465]

Hasegawa 52465 — 1/24 Volkswagen VW Beetle (1966) with Rio Asaka

This 1/24 scale plastic model reproduces the 1966 Volkswagen VW Beetle in a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive (RR) configuration and is issued as part of a compact car model series.

The Beetle originated as the Type 1 and by the mid 20th century was widely produced; the 1966 iteration retains the distinctive rounded bodywork, rear-mounted air-cooled engine layout, and simple mechanical packaging that define the model.

The kit is supplied as injection-molded plastic parts that require glue and paint and includes a scale Rio Asaka figure for vignette or roadside display. Builders should plan for separate paints and adhesives to finish the model to a period-accurate appearance.

Hasegawa's parts layout separates body and chassis elements to help achieve correct stance and exterior proportions. Decals and cockpit detail items are not enumerated in the listing; modelers typically consult photographs and period brochures when choosing colors and trim for the 1966 model year.

A compact 1/24 project that pairs a period-correct Beetle body with a display figure, providing an accessible build focused on exterior accuracy and basic assembly.
