   Not sure if this is a haxxor or not. Many of those pieces in the Scan "from 1961" were available til the 90s - flourescent headlight disks, hinges for the window pillars etc. Nice hack of the typography which is about right.

   I won't call it "fake" (as I don't think that was the intent). I am going to call it someone just having fun.

   But as has been stated, the pieces are modern. Also the Lego logo is wrong for 1961. The "O" had a break in it until the late '60s/early '70s. And the box layout is the modern layout.

   Still cute. And Lego did make VW related sets.

   Those are recent parts-- definitely fake. In 1961, Lego models were primitive, made from fewer, simpler parts:

   Has anyone thought that the 1961 refers to the model number. This is a recent piece due to the new parts.
   What matters is that it is a fair attempt at a model camper.

   Why does it matter about fake or real. It looks good.
