Review of 1/36 Scale Diecast Models of cars Volkswagen Transporter 1-gen Pickup & Wen

Описание: In this video, we're taking a close look at two unique 1/36 scale diecast models: the *Volkswagen Transporter 1-gen Pickup* and the **Volkswagen Transporter 1-gen Wen**.

The **Volkswagen Transporter 1-gen Pickup**, also known as the Volkswagen Type 2, is a forward control light commercial vehicle introduced in 1950 by the German automaker Volkswagen as its second car model. The first hand-built prototype (the Type 29) was produced in just three months, using a ladder frame chassis in place of the Beetle floor pan that was initially proposed (this proved too weak to accommodate a decent payload). Full production was approved in 1949, with production of the first generation (T1) officially starting in March 1950. Innovative concepts included placing the driver right at the front of the vehicle (a design feature that’s come to be known as ‘forward control’), while the engine was placed right at the rear – as with the VW Beetle car that donated it – driving the rear wheels.

The *Volkswagen Transporter 1-gen Wen* is the best-selling van in history with over 12 million units sold worldwide. It comprises a gamut of variants including vans, minivans, minibuses, pick-ups and campervans. Other familiar names for the Transporter include the Type 2 (the Beetle was the Type 1), Bulli, Kombi, Samba and Microbus. Also available as a panel van, people carrier, minibus and chassis cab, it also forms the basis of the Caravelle (known as the Multivan in Germany) and the Transporter Shuttle.
