A couple of new VWs from the local Wal-Mart. 1/24 M2 Machines 1960 Delivery Van and 1952 Beetle Deluxe.
The van is release 90 and the Beetle is 92. I have no idea how they ended up on the shelf at the same time.
Oh those wheels are a bother! The first stock release had the correct domed hubcaps. Every release since then has had the flat caps. M2 has never released a 1/24 model that used these correctly
It's pretty, but so wrong. Twin "pea shooter" exhaust wouldn't come until '54. Bumper overriders(towel bars) didn't become an option until a few years later.
I do like the Pan Am livery

Wow, it's been a while since I've added any VWs to my collection! Here's the latest I've found. It came from Wal-Mart a couple of weeks ago. EMPI Inch Pincher livery on the Panel van. Nice graphics, but it's on the low feature content panel van.
Also, during the pandemic I was able to put my hobby room together and finally all my cars are displayed! Here's my small collection of M2 VWs. It's an older photo prior to adding the EMPI delivery van.

Found some more of the owner's viewpoint series. Now only five more to complete the set.

My first M2 on a scale of 1:24 just arrived from America a few days ago. I really like the pinstriping decor.

Possibly. I bought a case from an online diecast shop

trh351,
I wasn't intentionally trying to mess up the thread, just consolidate all the M2s into one thread. I asked about that in 2018 and heard no reply until 2019. If you would like I can remove all my 1/64 scale posts and start a new thread. Definitely wasn't trying to step on your toes. Let me know. |
There is no problem. I don't get to this forum very often. All M-2 scales are welcome! I personally don't collect 1/64 scale. I like the bigger cars and trucks. It's easier on my eyes and it fits with all the models I've built. Also, they have released so few 1/24 VWs that I have access to and willing to pay more than $20 that people should post all scales. |

I've just recently (past couple of years) started collecting M2's. They have such great detail and offer many more buses than the other small die cast manufacturers. Here is one of my favorites.
Is this going to be the delicated M2 thread?

It was technically an M2 Machines 1/24 scale topic. Well, like anything, you post something and it's no longer on topic. If people want to post other M2 scales here, I'm ok with it. I'm going to add a couple more 1/24 that I've acquired. I did pick up one of the Mooneyes delivery vans just before I left for Canada. It looks good, but as I previously posted, a disappointment in the door department. Oh yeah, the bumpers are wrong too. I'm sure there are other things incorrect, but these are the obvious ones to me. It's not been opened yet.
While I was in Montreal. I traveled to Plattsburgh, NY because it's the nearest Walmart in the states. By happy accident I found a stock version I didn't know was being released.
There were other VWs released. I have a custom brown Beetle with aluminum wheels, no pictures, because it's packed up. I didn't buy a Transporter and Beetle in Coca-cola livery for $40 CAD each at Walmart, sheesh! I can't even imagine what other retailers want if Walmart is asking that much. Another Walmart exclusive Beetle in black with wrong hubcaps again, I don't have because I haven't seen them. That's it for now. |
