Hi everyone, Im primarily a mud and armour guy, but Ive been looking for ages to find a kit of a 70's bay window westfalia to no avail. Has anyone seen a conversion, resin, cast metal, 3d printed, anything of one of these old troopers? At this point I'm not even worried about scale. Im looking at doing a build of my good friends 78 we drove to the arctic together on a fishing trip.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Eric.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. Jesper thats a mid 80's with the "new" square body. I did manage to find a Diecast 1/24 standard bus that Im going to convert to the Westie. When it arrives Ill post some pics.
Thanks again!
