I've been surprised by the lack of trucks too. You'd think they'd at least have the basic big three brands. I'd even be happy with even promo style versions. Especially an F250 King Ranch and a Ram Longhorn. Some SUVs would be nice too. I know people look down on them, but they can make interesting subjects.

Sorry to revive an old post, but if anyone wants one, I found a 1/24 Sprinter toy a couple months ago from a Ukrainian company called Tigres. I bought it off Walmart.com for free shipping but it's available other places. I've been slowly turning it into a model. It's decent for it's purpose and for $20-ish it was well worth the money. It scales out to a pretty accurate 1/24 as well. The quality kind of looks like a diecast that was molded in plastic but the basics are there. I'm gradually turning it into camping/race team tow vehicle. Still no luck on a 1/24 Transit or Transit connect.

Sorry I missed this before. This van looks great! I really want a couple of 2000s Dodge vans to do up as Dajibans, but the only one available is a diecast and it isn't cheap!

From the pictures it appears the side windows open with molding in place. I always assumed MPC just left a scored cut line on the inside of the body. Could you confirm? Thanks

That's why I liked the Model Masters is because it was in spray cans.

A post on another forum reminded me how much I relied on these paints, I stole a picture. My building went dormant when I got married and had kids, then when I got back to it, Model Master was pretty much gone. Is there a modern spray equivalent? They came in stainless, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and maybe other shades too. They were my go to for engine and drivetrain parts. Between these Krylon's Dull Aluminum I thought they were the (spray) bomb!

A lot of them are open and I haven't found any warpage luckily.

Thanks, I was wondering decal paper would work.

I think the truck is based on a Grumman truck, I sure hope it won't be too hard to convert it to a stock van

It could make an interesting Cannonball entry!

I have three of the last stock issue from 2017(?) but this one will find me buying more! I love anything BRE related. I wonder if they corrected the stance or if it's a straight reissue of the California Sunshine version? Either way, I'll line up to buy.

Are those the 1/24th kits? I can vouch for them. I have several of the Initial D kits waiting to be built. My kids were deeply into Anime just before COVID and we took to a convention in Dallas, Texas. I found a vendor who had a couple cases of the kits and my wife let me off the leash to get a bunch.

I wonder if Revell still has the molds for this and the Mustangs? I built them all at one time or another and remember them being fun.

You're making a great start. These little kits really do make a great blank canvas. There's so much you can do with them.

I bought a can from HobbyTown a couple weeks ago. I think it was around $12.
