Hasegawa 20338 - Vintage Beetle Type 1 Mooneyes in 1/24 scale

The Hasegawa 20338 1/24 Volkswagen Beetle Type 1 Mooneyes presents the Beetle with Mooneyes graphics that reflect the custom-car scene. The kit balances accurate body lines with decals that recreate the distinctive look of the era.

Historic appeal and context

The Beetle's enduring silhouette made it a platform for many customisers. The Mooneyes decoration links the model to motorsport and hot rod aesthetics, appealing to modellers who enjoy period builds.

Fit, finish and build notes

Parts are moulded with clean detail to aid assembly and painting. Separate pieces for trim, interior and clear parts let builders achieve a polished result with standard modelling tools and adhesives.

Final presentation advice

Finished examples display well on a shelf or in a cabinet, and the compact size makes it easy to include in mixed collections of classics and custom cars.

Experienced modellers will find the kit straightforward, with most challenges centred on paint masking and decal placement rather than part fit.
Enamel or acrylic hobby paints both work well; consider primer and thin coats to preserve fine panel detail before applying the final colour.
Yes. Modellers often add resin seats, photo-etched trim or custom wheels to enhance realism and personalise the build.
Soak decals briefly, slide them into position and use decal softener to conform them to curves. Finish with a gloss coat before sealing if required.
Outdoor display is not recommended; UV and moisture can fade paint and degrade decals. Keep the model in a protected display case for longevity.
