Very nice! I love those old Volvos, bring back memories!

Thank you Danno! Thank you Foxer!

LOL!!! You ebay package got lost... Just kidding! Thank you! Thank you GeeBee!!!

That's beautiful!

Thank you all!!! Glad you like it! Totally safe!!! :D :D I would suggest if anyone want to build it, to buy also a AMT Jeep Willys (Hogans Hero or similar) to use as donor kit) it will simplify a lot the build. Thanks again!

Thank you VW Dave! I just finish it, and a the end it was totally fun build it! Thank you Erik! You need to have this attitude not only on a model, but also on the life. For this build also helped me the reply on the forum, people encouraging me to go forward. Many times I though to trash this kit.

Finally done... I couldn't believe I finish it, calculating how many times I thought tho trow it out of the window... Here the link of the building: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=64326&st=0 Here some pics...

Thank you! The bags are from a piece of elastic. The headlight lens are not clear... I try to put different surfaces under them, like silver, chrome for see if they looks good, but they don't look. The lens looks flat, or like when you drop superglue on a piece that is clear. I think to use some headlight that I have on my spare parts, that they are perfect clear. But I need to resize them... :-/ Her the lens from the kit and the "new" one. bottom left the kit, top left the New one, top right kit, and bottom the new lens. Look a the difference. Here the headlight finished, I add the back part, some chrome in the middle and the bezel. The kit doesn't have door handle, here they are. ;D

That's a great idea!

Beautiful!!

A little step... The parking light guard... Looks a easy thing to do, but it is not, the front part it is bent in 4 places! I draw this for explain how the parking light guard is... The parking light that are on the kit are a piece of white resin, I replace them with some I had on my spare parts. Before paint the body I drill new holes for the parking light. Here how they are on the kit. And here on the new position, more on the edge of the fender.

Thank you 1930fordpickup! Thank you Edward! Good eye sight! Thank you Richard!

Beautiful job!

I did some more work yesterday... Finished the dashboard, ok it needs the steering... I made a radio, because the Jeep (real and model) doesn't have it. I saw a nice DJ-5 with a radio on the sun visor, so I stolen the idea... And here finally the body met the chassis... After that I put all the mail inside.

Thank you Geoff!

Cool I built the same kit decades ago, painted in orange. I still have it.

It is a good place to buy, but check that the shipping is from the same location, because sometime they have different location and you are going to pay more that buy the stuff at your local auto parts store.

Beautiful!

Thank you Crazyrichard! I had to make them, the interior without them will be to naked, in my opinion.

Thank you Sam! I had to search little bit for build the tray and the bags, for have as much as I can a era correct stuff. Thank you Casey! Now I will not write any letter or postcard for a while! :D:D

Thank you Gluehead! Thank you Cobraman!

Looks great all the work you did for reduce it! Nice project too!

For you first time you did really good!

Here some progress on the build, I'm very happy to be in this point of the build, because I though it would never happen... Tray for the envelopes... Envelopes... Bags... Test if they fit inside the Jeep... Other bag, I will put it on the rear fender. A box... All ready for go inside the Jeep...

Here a few more progress... The interior almost done... Made the shelf that goes on the passenger side. The body painted. Doors... Inside of the passenger door, I need to finish the interior for the driver door. Here the decals that came with the kit, you can see that the red stripes works only on the side, and there is not enough for the rear. Same issue for those blue white red, there is a piece more, but it goes on the hood, so noting again for the rear.
