Praga V3S by Windham Grave (1-160)

When I found this model on Thingiverse created by Windham Grave, I just had to print it and then I thought this model must be available on Printables, being a website hosted by a Czech company… and here it is. 

The Praga V3S is probably the truck with the longest production history (at least for Czechoslovakia) running from 1953 till 1990. Around 130.000 were built and exported to 72 countries. For more information see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praga_V3S 

So far, no such well-designed model of the V3S is available at printables, but there is a workshop body created by KRtekTM for a 1:43 Degostini-model. KRtekTM makes models for this large scale, but the body is in my eyes really detailed.

It took me 10 minutes to bring together what should be, so there is now an additional version of this truck. Please enjoy and many thanks to Windham and KRtekTM for their work!

As usual I work in n-scale (1-160). Conversion values:
TT-gauge, 1:120 -> 133%
HO/H0-gauge, 1:87 -> 184%

If you intend to use it for larger scale and to print it on FDM-printer, you should consider downloading the original design using the link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5394687
