checkmate Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Well I got this one finally finished, it's the Revell reissue of the '77 Chev van, very simply build, I was just trying to make it "period correctish". Painted Shogun grey with a Lavender purple roof and pearl coat over the top. Decals from a Chevy Citation kit. Only mods were wheels (MRC Hop up set), '67 Chevelle mirrors, Aluminium exhaust tips and it got lowered a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris White Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Beautiful kit, have you built the amt kit yet?. I think the revel kit is nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmate Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Beautiful kit, have you built the amt kit yet?. I think the revel kit is nicer. Yeah I built the AMT kit first, I agree the Revell is a nicer kit, better fit and easier to assemble. I've still got to put a Ford Phantom van together to compare it to them. I'm building another AMT Chev now as a diorama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 That's a cool looking van Rob! Did you make the decals for it? I have one of these that came with the trailer. I did my first top chop on it and that's as far as I got on it. Looking at yours makes me want to get back in on it and finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
