Has there been a kit for the 1970s VW Bus?

I know there are a couple of options for the 1960s VW micro bus, and I have the Revell camper version of the later Vanagon, but I haven't seen anything for the 1970s version.

We had a 1972 metallic grey over blue VW bus when I was a kid and have been looking for a kit without luck, is there anyhing out there?

On a related note where are all the Greatful Dead VW bus models? Probably 1/2 of the 1-1 VWs I've seen wear Greatful Dead murals, but I've never seen one built up that way.

New 1/24 scale diecast model by Welly. Not sure if they'll offer it through US distributors, I had this shipped from a friend in Germany. Do the right searches and you'll find European Ebay and online retailers that carry them. Also available in red. It's a pretty neat model of the bay window van. No plastic kits so far, the companies seem to think that VW vans were all made prior to 1967.

Dav , to add a note to you're comment why the heck have so many Kwell models like a Sudebaker Coupe Express Pick only come out as DieCast models , or a 41 Chevrolet as only a die cast street rod ? I agree a couple of nice plastic models of Volkswagen Vans I bet would have a decent market too. Ed Shaver

Thanks, I'll have to keep an eye open for the Welly, but it is a shame no one has done a 70's VW bus in plastic.
