Chuck Most Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I was staring down the barrel of a very boring day, so I threw this together over the course of eight hours or so. This is the MPC Cannonball Run emergency van, with a Models By Dave replacement grille, Cragars from a Force 440 (that kit also coughed up the Accel decals on the back bumper- which are there to cover up some sink marks), '49 Mercury mirror, and side windows from the AMT Phantom Ford van. It's sort of loosely based on a ratty two-tone green Dodge passenger van which used to prowl my neighborhood- nasty peeling paint and all. Forgot how low these MPC Dodge vans sit in back- I'll have to keep that in mind on the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks guys. Great weathering on this one. Was it done with the salt method? That it was... I still might go over it with a polishing cloth to add wear spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
