[Short van]

There used to be a resin one that pops up on ebay sometimes

I wonder how well this works on deep wheels

[New AMT kits]

Let's hope the gurney in the ambulance just isn't the one from the chevy rescue van ( too "new" I think)

Separate hood?? Is there a separate hood in the other (recent) issues of the AMT Chevy van?

 

The Foxy box also has a separate hood. But the body has one molded in too

Cool looking van, what year grille is shown here?  I would love to backdate the Dodge Van kit to the early body style.  But a new grille would be more doable. As for the cabinets I could look for the inserts.  Does anyone have those actual interior parts ?

-Steve  

I have a couple new vans with the shop interior and various other 70s MPC vans. Lmk here or on Instagram if you need to see something. Anything to get van stuff back on the market

Agreed! They could just call it a GMC Vandura Street Van.

And put some door panels and an accurate dash too

Any idea where to get some Wide Watanabe's to add to this kit?

Fujimi makes the super wide ones..

Depending on the year, the cargo door cuts, side markers, dog house and taillights too.

Would you know if any of these stores sell older or used kits?

Fresh Decals, No tire melt on the glass, and white plastic. I think it is a great Idea. And, if sold at Hooby Looby, it showcases this kit to three generations of buyers who may not have ever seen it, or knew it existed. With Supra's always being in demand in the 1-to-1 World, no better time to have one on the shelf.

Good chrome and no tinted glass! Haha

Thanks for posting, I almost bit on their Vw altered body since I can't find an aardvark one

Besides decals and wheels, is the Aqua Rod any different from previous releases?

It appears to be same, even the wheels.

Greedy corporations….what else is new. lol   They don’t seem to realize things like this help sell their products too.

 

I always wondered if licensing was a big part of why models are so expensive, because for the most part, those AMT display cases were about the same price for 15 years but the model cars went up 3×

 

I was thinking about this before covid of course, and everything went up since 

[Model shops in or near Las Vegas?]

I'm visiting las vegas for the first time since I got back into the hobby. Years back, I would visit Hobby People and Hobbytown there but I think they're gone now. Anywhere else within about 50 miles to look at? We don't have Hobby Lobby here in Hawaii so I'll visit them too

[Has anyone made/remade these 70s dodge truck/van wheelcovers/hubcaps?]

I think these would sell well especially with the "too many projects" bodies currently offered

This one is with several kits that are now in the stratosphere. This would be welcome in resin.

 

I'd like a shorty chevy with no flares, maybe a conversion for the amt would be nice too 

I think this one was last made in the USA so here's hoping Atlantis has it and puts it out soon 

 

Here's one of mines built with that kit

Models by Dave offers an ambulance style raised top for that kit. 

How could I get one of these? I see they offer a later ford van grille too. The website doesn't show either parts
