Revell Model Set VW T1 Kastenwagen

Plastmodeller Revell VW T1 Kastenwagen

The origin of all present vans and transporters derives from the  platform truck used in the late 1940s for internal transport in the  Volkswagen works at Wolfsburg, which inspired the Dutch importer Ben  Pons with the idea of a transport vehicle. From 8th March 1950 the first  generation transporter, nicknamed by its fans the Bully , was mass  produced. The van with the typical V-front and split windscreen was  available in various versions including the box-type van. The unladen  weight of this van used by many tradesmen and firms was about 975 kg  with a payload of 750 kg. The technology was based on the Volkswagen  Type 1, known as the Beetle so that the T1 had an air-cooled flat-four  engine. The engine however had higher torque which gave the T1 initially  25, then after 1954, 30 hp with a top speed of 80 km/h which, compared  with other transporters of the time, was very good. Even today these  robust vans are still loved by veteran vehicle enthusiasts throughout  the world.
