Who made this VW

[junkyardjeff]

Picked this up today and do not remember ever seeing a small rear window Beatle before,the front suspension has been glued in wrong and broken and is there a kit I could use for the front suspension and other missing parts.

I believe that's Gunze Sangyo

If it's 1/24 scale, it's probably the Gunze Sangyo oval window.  It was issued first as a "High Tech" kit with some photoetch and cast metal parts, and later as a more affordable kit without those extras.  I believe both versions have seats and interior door panels molded in black vinyl along with the tires.

Yes it does have black seats.

I'd say it looks like Ringo, maybe Paul. But definitely not a John or George.

Still amazing that, after so many years, that is the earliest style Beetle available in 1/24 scale plastic.  No split window...

I'd like to see someone build it as a yellow submarine.
