This is brand new and has never been built.
There are 24 smaller boxes that all go together to make the car. This will go on a stand that makes different noises and has changeable backgrounds.
The scale when built is 1:43. It's roughly the same size as a matchbox car.
It comes with a book , every part has its own 2 page dedication with lots of information about VW cars and other info. It also details what part you have and where it goes.
The only issue is that the outer box has got a little damaged whilst moving house, but nothing terrible. Inside all the small boxes are fine and every part is intact and present.
This is a great little model. It does not need to be used as an advent calender.
