A while back I had mentioned to somebody about some Volvo kits the 544 pickup truck and the sedan delivery that Volvo had and some of the later style Volvo station wagons unfortunately they disappeared from my notifications and I forgot to write them down I would appreciate whoever it was to resend me that information.

I held a 3D printed Duett (210) body in my hand last year (someone else bought it before me) and it really wasn't ready for painting right away, but the shape of the body is quite forgiving for sanding actually.

The orange one you posted was originally ordered by Televerket, the state telephone company, they had the little squeezy extra side window on the right side.

I realize now that I probably missed looking at whether the characteristic threshold box was correct as in the picture but it can be fixed yourself.

PV444:

Introduced in 1947, the PV444 was one of Volvo's first volume models. It had a simple, robust design and quickly became popular. Self-supporting body.

PV544:

An updated version of the PV444 launched in 1958. It had a more modern design, including an arched windshield, and was offered with stronger engines. Self-supporting body.

Volvo Duett (PV445 & P210):

PV445:

Based on the PV444 chassis and launched in 1953, it was available as a station wagon, a van and in smaller numbers as a chassis for special bodies. Separate frame, the pickups have very short doors = larger bed. In fact, I think the pickups cabs are made by other smaller workshops. The first picture is probably a Swedish doodle bug.

P210:

A later version of the Duett, introduced in 1960. It got the same updated windshield and dashboard as the PV544. Separate frame.IMG_1467.jpeg.6fdbcf68d85c4b64b34864da9869f25f.jpeg
