LEGO Volkswagen T2 Campingbus

Product Information

Customisable roof storage was an integral feature of many Volkswagen Camper Vans, hence this model provides space for two folding chairs above the cab. They are not connected using any studs, instead nestling perfectly inside a recessed panel. The arrangement looks effective, particularly because these bright red chairs contrast against the surrounding roof. Whether you’re reliving past adventures, planning future travels or simply want to celebrate your passion for camper vans, you’ll love this LEGO Volkswagen T2 Camper Van (10279) model building project. Take your time building the camper van model then explore its detailed interior before placing it on display to remind you that there’s a world of adventure just around the corner.

This is a tough one. As I said, I really want to love this set, but it is making it hard to do that. Fortunately, the functionality suffers from no such problems as every door opens smoothly for viewing inside. Generous space is available above the engine bay, which could accommodate various accessories. However, this is required for the bed transformation instead, hence I think the aforementioned pillows could have been positioned here for storage. Each window is installed between the Technic supports, with layered plates stretching towards the front. Such strength is absolutely required because these windows are considerably bigger than those on the T1 Camper Van, hence they cannot rely upon the same construction method. Securing the bodywork also commences at this stage, where various slopes and tiles surround the windows. Slope, Curved 2 x 1 Inverted in Dark Orange (6339914 | 24201) introduced ín 2021, in two other sets As is standard practice for LEGO for Adults vehicle sets, no minifigures are included. However, 10279 Volkswagen T2 Camper Van does come with a few accessories that inspire images of holidaymakers, including two folding camping chairs and a surfboard. — Price —the inclusion of the surfboard feels a bit lazy, especially since one was already included in the 10252 Beetle; It’s a set that will probably have you questioning your skills as a LEGO builder – surely a LEGO set can’t be this fragile; surely a mistake must have been made along the way? But when the front bumper, rear bumper, engine, rear boot and pop-up roof are all prone to having parts breaking off or simply falling to pieces, something has definitely gone wrong in the design process. It would have set the mood for the model beautifully, but instead it’s the same old box art that fans have been presented with for well over a year and a half now. Snooze.

One of the most extensive ranges however comes in the form of LEGO Star Wars which is equipped with all of the iconic characters from Episode I right through to Rise of Skywalker. Providing the perfect gift for all kinds of Sith Lords and Jedi Knights. And if that wasn’t enough, our selection of LEGO Marvel heroes captures the spirit and iconic scenes from the Avengers and many more classics. I noticed the same. Still, I think the model with the high mounted indicators is the most recognizable and could have looked better."

The subject of today is the Volkswagen T2 Camper Van, the successor of the T1. To make things complicated: The entire series of Camper Vans is called Typ 2. The T1 is the first model in this series, and started production in March 1950, and the 2nd (T2) generation followed in 1967. The T2 is best known as the Love Bug, being used a lot by hippies (and other cultures) to travel from music festival to music festival, and as the perfect van to transport your surfboard to the beach. For some reason, I have always loved the looks of this van. I don't know what it is, but it just looks right. To be clear: I love the looks. No way I'm ever traveling in it. Most people would find the van 'cozy'. For me, that just means cramped. I'm purely going by looks. So as I said: I really want to love this set.

I do agree the fitting of the front window is a pain and not very stable, and for me the front lights keep falling off! In comparison the rest of the van is lovely and sturdy
