Today diecast Volkswagen "Samba" van/bus from Bburago. For those not familiar with the brand here a little history lesson <Click me> .
Bburago been locally available in Rustan's around 80s' and 90's. My first run with Bburago was an assembly kit that was given to me for Christmas by one of my God father the Ferrari GTO Pioneer and a yellow CJ-7 I bought during the same time period.
Now Bburago a mainstay on local retail toy stores in various scale. Was doing monthly toy raid with EJ when we stumbled upon the lowly Samba bus.
Closer look
VW logo adorns the front of the bus with matching painted headlight and turn signals, up top has simulated cloth sunroof, rear lights painted in red plus engine compartment opens to view van engine which is molded on chassis (surprisingly accurate to the VW air-cooled lump), interior pretty detailed it has a steering wheel, driver, passenger seats and clear plastic windows. Underneath it has Philips type screw holding the chassis to the body an added bonus for those doing customization's.
Body
Two tune red and white, chassis lowered, without 1:1 scale bumpers resto mod style.
Wheels
Plastic Fuchs style low profile rims in grey.
Bus scale is 1:64 and it is perfect for macro-ish photos on my son Tomica Highway.
Was not expecting much in regards to Bburago quality but I came out of the purchase a fan. The details on bus is staggering, stuff you won't usually find on this scale and price range.
Bburago also has other classic VW models in 1:64 like beetle, squareback, notchback and karmann ghia.
