About product

VW Transporter Red, the red of a two-color van

A red named after the Volkswagen Transporter. With the first generations of this vehicle it was not a single-color body: the lower part was colored, the upper sections with the roof stayed light, and a bold horizontal division ran between them.

The real subject of 1950

The Transporter has been built since 1950, and the first generation, nicknamed after its angular nose, had a split windshield and an air-cooled flat four-cylinder at the rear; technically it came from the Volkswagen Beetle. In 1967 the second generation with a one-piece window took over from it. It is precisely with these two generations that a horizontal edge divides the flank of the body, where the colored lower part meets the light upper one, and red belongs among the classic choices there alongside blue and green. The large circular badge of the brand on the nose then divides the red area into two halves.

Where the red suits a model

  • the lower body of vans and minibuses of the 1950s and 1960s
  • the surface of the nose around the large circular badge of the brand
  • utility bodies, trailers and stall conversions of period vehicles
  • red items of the scene around a vehicle, for example drums and crates

Who the red will serve

Modelers of period utility vehicles who work with a two-color scheme and need a red that does not overwhelm a whole model next to a light upper part. It will also be used by collectors who build several variants of the same vehicle in different forms and want the colored lower part to be the same on all of them. On the real subject the red goes around the pillars and the rear sections as well, where the division breaks around the windows, so masking on a model follows the shape of the body and cannot be run along a single horizontal tape.

FAQ

The name does not set a generation. The two-color form with a colored lower part is typical of the first two generations of the vehicle, that is of the period from 1950 to the end of the 1970s.

The classic form has the flank divided by a horizontal edge. Below it is the colored area, above it the light upper part with the roof.

Yes, it can serve on period bodies, trailers and scene accessories. It need not match the factory paint of another brand, though.
