We've been making these for a few years now, and the custom VW T1 bus models have become one of our more popular requests—the hand-painted finish with that clear coat really does hold up better than standerd factory stuff, and we usually have stock of the basic color options to start from.
Most buyers go with the 1:24 scale for desk displays or office lobbies, but the 1:18 is better if you want people to actually open the doors and see the detailed interior, and the 1:43 works well for trade show giveaways or promotional sets.
The dimensoins will vary depending on which scale you pick, roughly 150mm to 300mm in length, and we can do custom two-tone colors or even match a specific Pantone if you send it along with the order (lead time is 4-8 weeks for those custom runs).
What it does is give you a solid collectible piece that's actually built to last—the resin and metal components mean it won't warp or yellow like some cheaper ABS-only models, and the LED lighting option is something most suppilers don't offer at this price point.
We require a 50-unit minimum order, which is pretty standard for custom hand-painted work, and payment terms are typically 50% upfront with the balance due before shipping, though our company can discuss net 30 for repeat buyers with a history.
The packaing is a premium display box with foam inserts, so you won't have issues with damage during transit, and we include a COA with each unit verifying the hand-painted finish and materials used.
For the 1:18 scale, expect about 300mm in length; the 1:24 scale runs around 220mm; and the 1:43 scale is roughly 150mm. These are approximate since each model is handcrafted, so there might be a slight variation of a few millimeters.
Yes, we can arrange a sample unit for you, but keep in mind the MOQ is still 50 units for production. The sample will help confirm the exact paint color, logo placement, and base design before we run the full batch.
We can supply a Certificate of Conformity for materials and a quality inspection report per batch. If you need specific certifications like CE or RoHS, let us know upfront so we can factor that into the production timeline.
The LED lighting runs on small coin cell batteries (CR2032 or similar), which we include in the package. The lights are wired with a simple on/off switch hidden in the chassis, so they're easy to replace when needed.
Each model comes in a premium display box with protective foam cutouts. For bulk orders, we can print your logo or branding on the box, add custom inserts, or even design a special window pattern—just specify that when you confirm the order.
