Revell Plastic Model Kit
50 Years Of VW Golf 1 GTI Gift Set (1/24)
This 1/24 scale Volkswagen Golf 1 GTI gift set from Revell celebrates 50 years of one of the most iconic hot hatches ever produced. Often described as the “wolf in sheep’s clothing”, the original GTI combined everyday practicality with genuine performance, quietly redefining what a compact family car could be.
As a complete gift set, everything needed to get started is included in the box, featuring Aqua Color paints, a brush, and Contacta Professional Mini glue. Builders can choose between the classic production GTI or the special version from the famous historic VW commercial, with options for both left and right hand drive. Extensive decals allow licence plates from ten different countries, while under the opening bonnet sits a multi part replica of the legendary engine.

First launched in 1976, the Golf GTI surprised everyone by pairing a lightweight body with a 110hp fuel injected engine, creating a small car capable of chasing much more expensive sports coupes. It quickly became the blueprint for the modern hot hatch and remains a cult classic decades later. This kit captures that original spirit, from the flared arches and red grille trim to the larger front spoiler, offering a detailed tribute to a time when driving feel mattered more than electronic assistance.
