Got my pink flocking here , working on wheels choices .  No matter , I’ll have to widen the track for any wheel I choose as the kit tires are supposed to be super wide , but they are also super gone .

I glimpsed this in the background of another of your photos and wondered what it was. Good luck with it!

Certainly looks it can take some decent-size wheels.

Was there a real one? Supervan to me in the UK means a mutant Ford Transit, they did several one-off versions of it over the years.

It was also featured in the movie " Supervan".   A 1977 movie. I believe it had a different paint job.

Correct , it’s been in several different movies , here’s more than you could ever want to know about it , although for pics of the different paint you will have to use your Google-fu ...

I have an old unpainted built-up of the Supervan. Bought the kit in Birmingham 30 years ago for $5. There were about 5 of those kits in that hobby shop. Wish I had grabbed them all. I built it without painting it. I may pull that one out for a rebuild. I'll be watching this project for tips!

Added the spoilers , working on getting them fitted to the body and molded in . Also cleaned up all the mold line and began fitting the door . All the paint should arrive this week , blue on bottom to purple to hot pink on top. Covering all of that in HOK ultra mini rainbow flake and DuPont 2k clear .
