Ridgeback Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 This turned up in the post this morning ☺ Esci G wagon that I won of of e bay for the equivalent of about $23 still sealed. Going to open it up and get started this evening.I'm going to fit an external cage etc and maybe some lift. People confuse the Esci release with the full on raid racer that won the Dakar, but this is a support vehicle for the Yamaha XT550's that competed that year. Looking forward to building this one.

CFMgarage Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 DUUUDE! That's awesome...On a sidenote, you should enter this thing in the Cannonball Run 2016 - The Aussieball Community Build-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I love these old ESCI kits. I have the standard G Wagon kit, the molded in green one. I should bump that up on the "to do" list, as it's just such a neat kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorincebu Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Wow what a score. I am envious ! That would make a great Surfari wagon. Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) While we're waiting for the OP to return, here are a couple of amazing ambulance conversions to this kit - one as a 2-door panel-truck type, and the other with a totally scratchbuilt rear ambulance body. Inserting this as a link keeps inserting the whole page here, so remove the space after "topic:" http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/ 27331-124-merc-g-wagon-ambulances/ Also be advised that ESCI released 2 different versions of the G-Wagen kit. Both have been re-issued by Revell. The "Rally" version back doors are vertically split "barn doors." The Fire Dept. (Feurwehr) version has a horizontally split tailgate/rear window. It also comes with a portable water pump which is a good start for some super-detailing. Edited June 5, 2016 by Mike999 Error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
