Yes, Revell got really into the custom van craze, going so far as to tool up a 1/16 scale Chevy van kit, the "Big Bad Van", which for the most part is a scaled up version of their 1/25 Chevy Custom Van kit:










They revised the kit to release it as the "Movin' Out" big rig styled van:



Revell AG later released it as the "Chevy Show Van" with working lights:

Revell released some cool 1/16 stuff over te years, I've collected all of the big vans. The show van with lights seems to be the hardest to get and most expensive, while the Big Bad Van seems to pop up regularly on evilbay. I like the detail in these kits and the interiors are pretty cool and accurate for the era, with a bit more detail work they'd really be a show stopper.
The interior of the Movin Out van's my favourite and once I can get a spare one I'd like to fit it into a BBV kit.

I can add up pics of what's in each kit and box sides etc if anyone wants? I'll just have to drag them out.

The "Big Bad Van" with the interior is awesome. I wish we could get a re-issue of that kit.

Kenny Youngblood "MOVIN OUT" '78 version was just totally awesome, what a great kit, way too kool!

Revell US, should bring this one back in the original version box/kit (forget the AG version of the 90's)....Mold still in Germany???

There's been a Chevy show van on evilbay for ages now with a price tag around $600, which explains while it's still for sale. I ended up getting mine for around $120 from Portugal.

I'd like to see them if it's not to much trouble?
