Volkswagen 13AD Beetle 1303S (1973)

The VW Beetle, which was released in 1938, was manufactured until 2003 with repeated minor changes and was driven all over the world. In 1971, remaining the basic design that is equipped with air-cooled horizontally-opposed cylinder engine on the rear, the 1302 series was added whose front suspension was changed from conventional torsion bar to MacPherson strut system. Bulging bonnet shape was also its features. In 1973, it underwent minor changed and became the 1303 series whose windshield curved largely, and tail lights were also increased in size. the 1303 series was equipped with a 1300cc engine, the 1303S series was equipped with a 1600cc engine. The 1303 series was discontinued in 1975, and the torsion bar type was continuously produced after that, but the convertible was manufactured based on the 1303S until 1979.

The paints listed here are those shown on the box for serious hobbyists who want to build the kit precisely. You do not have to buy them all and may prefer to choose alternatives.

For car bodies and motorcycle panels, we recommend using a main-colour spray can for the best finish rather than brush-painting the main body. One can is enough for one kit.

Tamiya kits use Tamiya-brand paints and paint codes. All other kit brands use Mr Hobby paints. You can find a huge range of paints, undercoats and lacquers in our Paint section.

Note: Mr Hobby “H” codes are water-based paints and are less smelly when used indoors. “C” codes are lacquer-based and can produce a finer finish. Add a small bottle of the correct thinner for your paint type to clean your brushes and make it easier to switch colours while building your kit.

We have tools for every budget, all available in our Tools section. For first-time builders and gift-givers, the products below are a practical way to get started. We especially recommend the Kit Building Bundle for beginners, as you only need this and your chosen paint colours to build a kit.

Although there is an initial outlay, these tools will last for many future builds and make model building more enjoyable. As with most things in life, having the right tools for the job produces better results. For higher-end tools, explore our Mr Hobby ranges.

If you build models regularly and value long-lasting tools and support products that help achieve the best possible finish, we have a wide range of quality items from Mr Hobby and Tamiya in our main menu. Here are some useful products to consider:
