checkmate Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Started this one awhile back and have been working on it and a few others but finally got this one finished. Not my usual custom van but a near stock delivery van. Mostly standard out of box but I added some different decals, added a cargo of AMT kits in cartons, changed the kit wheels for some standard Ford commercial looking wheels and after finishing it, it sat like a 4x4 at the front so I lowered the front to give it some rake.

AzTom Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Very nice. My first new van was a 1975. This one is on my bucket list. I was hoping the "On the workbench" would have been more active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Very nice! Where did you get the wheels? I have that exact set in resin somewhere, but I have no idea where they came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmate Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks guys, the wheels came out of a MPC van kit called the Sorcerer I think. They're a good fit in the Phantom kit tyres and look more commercial than the hubcaps and rims in the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdWatcher Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Vantastic! I wonder if AMT used this exclusively for shipping the Auto Transport Trailer kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
