Is The VW T3 Doka In Resin?

[oldcarfan]

Maybe this will interest other VW fans. With the VW Vanagon coming available again with a Stranger Things tie-in, I dug out three Westfalia kits I have. Now I wonder if I can convert one to a Doka or better yet, if anyone knows if a conversion is available from an aftermarket supplier. I'd like to build either a single or double cab.

Also, I remember seeing a updated later style front end being made a while back. Any ideas on that?

I'm not aware of any resin transkits for this one, and I've been looking for ages for one.

 

Having said that, it is available to 3D print. 

I have the files, but haven't gotten around to printing it just yet. The files look really good though.

Oh, and this is the only late front end kit I've seen.

I have some of his other VW transkits, and they are excellent.

Will be getting this one eventually.

I've printed it. The lower sides between the wheels on both sides need some holes filed and theres a hole on each side where the front upper seatbelt mount would be. and the grille warps as it cures.

The same seller has the later grille, too, looks like.
