Platerpants Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Looking for the Roof Wing for the AMT Cuckoo Nest Ford Van. I am wanting to build a replica of the Firestone Ford Van to match the F150 and Courier. Any help would be appreciated also if you know of a roof scoop that is close to what the Firestone van had I'd be interested in that as well. I could also do 3D files too as I have 2 printers. Thanks Everyone. Here is my van so far. My kit is the Surfer Van. Here is a picture from Hot Rod Magazine of the Real Van Here is a picture of the Cuckoo Nest Van Kit off Evilbay showing the wing Edited August 21, 2022 by Platerpants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I've got the Cuckoo Nest van (but intend to build it that way). I haven't looked at it in a while, but I remember the wing being a bit smaller in proportion to the van compared to the illustrations. The wing on the Firestone van looks like, and probably was, a commercial item that was sold to the general public. If you could find a magazine ad or article dealing with that specific piece, you could scratchbuild one that would be closer than the Cuckoo Nest kit piece.
