Volkswagen Beetle (Kaefer) 1955 Bburago 1:18
The Bburago Volkswagen Beetle (Kaefer) is a diecast metal model. 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.
