1984 Ford Transit / Esci / 1:24

Always a treat to see someone actually built this kit, but it's a full-blown event when someone builds it to a level like this. Very well done.

Awesome!

Thanks. I'm rather happy with it too.

 

Adam, this old rustbucket looks that realistic, if you had not shown pics with a key, a brochure or your hand on the roof, I would have thought this model is real!!!

Those rusty spots are totally convincing - the whole van is absolutely amazing !!!

Italeri will reissue this former ESCI kit in 2016 !!!

For some reason this caught my eye, and while I'm not a truck guy per se, all I can say is WOW!! Super excellent weathering, and I swear the last outside pic you took, it looked for all the world like the real deal!

A definite A+++ build!!

Great looking Van nice work on the details for the interior as well!

I drove these when they were new & yours look very realistic of how most ended up lol.

Absolutely fantastic build - the Esci kit is well-proportioned, but the level of detail here is like nothing I've ever seen. Top job.

Amazingly, it turns out that the real-life Transit used as the photo reference (C499CUW, known as 'Purdy') is still on the road - just about!
