This is the most difficult model that so far I have assembled. It is rated a Level 5, whereas most model companies stop at Level 3. Small part after small part. Took me a month to assemble it.
The rest of the diorama was built from parts of several other kits and sources--those parts were not in the VW model kit.
It is a 1960s Volkswagen conversion van. In that era they were made in Germany. People would purchase them there, drive them around Europe, and then shipped them home to the USA. Many of them were purchased by US servicemen.
Vicky set up a place for it in our activity room---fittingly under our map of our own RV travels on our road trips. That's why it is a place of honor.
