Revell 07344 VW T3 Westfalia Joker is a high-quality 1:25 scale plastic model kit replicating the famous Volkswagen camper in its Westfalia Joker version. This model kit allows you to build a faithful replica of one of the most iconic minivans, which became a symbol of freedom, travel, and the unique atmosphere of the 1980s.

History and Details of the Original

The Volkswagen T3 (Type 25), produced in Germany between 1979 and 1992, was the third generation of the popular “Bulli.” The Westfalia Joker version was a specialized touring variant with an extended, pop-up roof, camper conversion, and expanded interior fittings. This model quickly gained popularity in Western Europe, especially among caravan enthusiasts. It was used for both summer family trips and long journeys across Europe. Its peak popularity was during the 1980s and early 1990s. Today, vacations "in a van" often pay homage to this very T3 version.
