Engine 51 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Here is my version of the “garbage” AMT Chevy Rescue Van. Not too bad for garbage. It presented some challenges for sure, but nothing that couldn’t be overcome. I was not at all happy with the decals, but, live and learn. This van is strictly a fictitious rig. Overall, I’m fairly happy with the end result. Thanks for looking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was someone on this forum that labeled it as such a while back when I asked a question about it. After having built it, I think it’s a pretty nice kit. Offers a couple challenges, but I guess that’s what keeps us on our best game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Very nice-looking service vehicle. Your added finish and trim detailing are what makes this good so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Nicely done. Having built two of these, I agree that there are some minor issues but compare to others, they can be fairly easy to overcome. That's what model building is all about. Frustration is part of the learning curve. I don't tend to criticize older kits, they have the excuse of being old, I am less forgiving about brand new kits that have fitting issues. But in the end I am glad we have them , warts and all. A challenging kit can be extremely rewarding when done correctly. Yours is a good example . I like the light weathering on the chassis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Very nice. Working on one myself. A few minor challenges, but going well. The absence of door panels bothered me a bit, but I got over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica007 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Very sharp, clean build, really like the weathering (i'm trying to learn to do that). Good paint finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
