RAT-T Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 THIS QUESTION IS BASED ON THE 1;1 REFERENCE AREA. DOES ANYONE CAST A '65 ECONOLINE VAN &/OR PICK UP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Tom, to my knowledge , the only 1-24th piece I have seen to date has been a Die Cast from Welley. It looks really wide to me and I used to manufacture Custom parts for those trucks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 AFAIK the only bi-scale early Econolines are the Jada 1/24 die-cast models (I think these are what Ed was referring to), which are offered in pickup, panel, and Falcon(?) passenger/window versions. They look decent, and would be a great starting point for a resin conversion, but the die-cast doors open, so the gaps and fit to the body would need to be reworked, any inaccuracies/compromises fixed, and a whole new everything else, short of the powertrains. Lots of work for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluhead Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'd make one if someone were able to provide measurements. It's a pretty straightforward body, as far as contours go. And how cool is this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
