When you hear “Volkswagen Beetle,” many people likely feel a sense of nostalgia. What we are introducing today is the “Beetle Custom (Metallic Orange),” a 1/32 scale model that boldly customs that very Beetle. This model, which recreates the classic oval window, is packed with a realism that feels like the actual car has been shrunk down, combined with the playfulness unique to custom cars. In particular, the metallic orange body color is so vivid it captures your heart the moment you see it. It is an exquisite fusion of retro atmosphere and modern essence.

Indispensable to discussing the appeal of this model are the numerous newly added mold parts. The front bumper, custom wheels, and even the tires feature a new design, resulting in a custom style that stands apart from traditional Beetles. Yet, it's interesting how the atmosphere of the 1938 model, known as the “Oval,” is firmly preserved. Updating a form loved across eras with modern sensibilities—this content makes you feel that kind of romance.

When people hear “plastic model,” they might have an image of “painting and gluing seem difficult.” However, this Beetle Custom is different. The body color is reproduced by coloring the plastic itself, allowing you to enjoy a glossy finish as is. Furthermore, thanks to the snap-fit design, no glue is required at all. With a modest part count of only 29 pieces, it is perfect for model beginners or those who want to assemble it with their children. The sense of accomplishment from seeing it take shape in a short time might even become a small bit of healing in a busy daily life.

The fun of this kit doesn't end with easy assembly. Surprisingly, it even comes with stone guard stickers, allowing you to arrange the body to your liking. Furthermore, these stickers show great attention to detail, with shapes that vary depending on the color. As it shares specifications with the Metallic Purple version, a T-bar is also included, allowing you to enjoy the fun of adding personality to the exterior. Even with a limited number of parts, the fact that such details are thoroughly addressed will tickle any modeler's heart.

This 1/32 scale size is also exquisite, being just right for both display and storage. However, contrary to its compactness, the finished Beetle possesses a considerable presence. When the lustrous metallic orange gloss catches the light, it emits a protagonist-class aura that instantly draws all eyes. The impact of a custom car and the lovability unique to miniatures are perfectly harmonized, quickly transforming a desk or a corner of a shelf into a space that truly stands out.
