69NovaYenko Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) I picked up this old Volkswagen bus kit by Revell at a garage sale. Even though the first page of the instructions are missing and the box shows some wear and water staining all the parts including the glass appear to be there. I`m trying to identify what year this kit represents. One friend told me the kit was a `63 and another said it was a`67. I`m hoping someone out there can enlighten me.

Craig Irwin Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 VW busses changed only in small details for most years, but as that kit is a 21 window deluxe it must be a 64 to 67.
Art Anderson Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 IIRC, That was a modified reissue of the original Revell Type 2 23-window "Microbus" (at least that's what I seem to remember Revell calling it). The original came out, I believe, in 1959, as a 23-window. Later on, the tooling was modified to the windowless version cargo van, during the craze over such vehicles. Art
