Chuck Most Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 This is a mostly box-stock buildup of the Rescue Van reissue- I got the red molded version and painted it white just to stack on one more challenge. The not box-stock decals are from an old Microscale sheet. I was going for a used but well maintained sort of look. I left off the mirrors for now- the kit mirrors are junk- I'll dig out some better replacements one of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Looks very good. Needs hub caps though. Not the chrome ones, but the white painted ones. Scott Edited October 28, 2014 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Super nice build Chuck. The chevy 1500 mirrors are the best but not factory for this year van. What primer did you use??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatz4u Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Different sorta build Chuck, do you ever do box stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Solid B. Nice job, but the wheels don't match the body (color wise), wipers need work and without mirrors, . . . well, we just can't give it an 'A', now can we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks guys! Super nice build Chuck. The chevy 1500 mirrors are the best but not factory for this year van. What primer did you use??? I I remember, I went with red oxide primer during the bodywork phases, then a coat of primer sealer, and a coat of silver paint followed by one more coat of primer sealer- Duplicolor was used for the entire process. Solid B. Nice job, but the wheels don't match the body (color wise), wipers need work and without mirrors, . . . well, we just can't give it an 'A', now can we? Did what I could with what I had. If I build another one, now I know all the areas on the kit that'll need a bit more help than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well done. I think I would shorten the wipers tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well done. I think I would shorten the wipers tho. Definitely. Thinning them a bit would help in the looks department, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
