Volkswagen Beetle (Kaefer)
 1949 
Solido
 1:17

The Solido Volkswagen Beetle (Kaefer) is a diecast metal model featuring removable top. The Proportion and Scale Deviation of this model are too big, resulting in a model that looks noticeably "stretched" and oversized for its 1:18 classification. Simplified and strong details like window frames in relief contribute to a model that can be used as a toy.
