As requested from This THREAD, here are pictures of the Schabak 1/43 VW Caravelle Synchro, otherwise known as the Vanagon. Picked it up at a toy sale; I really don't know much about it. It's made in Germany and has a metal base. Sadly, it is also missing one headlight. The side and rear doors do open. Should be a nice model once I find the time to clean it up a bit. :P

As much as I limit my 1/43 model hoarding, I would still make sure I had space for this model. Great van that doesn't have a lot of scale model choices available.

Love & want... look for a pullback 1/43 or so junker when thrifting or whatnot and pull its headlight to save this

I've had a red VW Transporter Synchro from Schabak in the past. But that had wider wheels with a grey plastic insert. It came in VW dealer packaging. A printed cardboard box with no windows.
