1963 Morris Mini Van

[Chuck Most]

Just a fun little combination of an incomplete Tamiya kit and an old resin conversion kit. Paint is distressed Tamiya Park Green on the body and Krylon Colonial Ivory on the wheels. Monroe weathering powder simulates rust and London grime, with help from Vallejo rust washes. The body was missing A panel seams and fuel filler cutout. I used d-shaped plastic strip to add the seams and completely forgot adding that fuel fill cutout. In the immortal words of Homer Simpson... D'OH!!!!

The pickup in the last picture was built years ago from a Tamiya kit with a Scale Kraft transkit. It recently got new number plate decals as the original front plate had chipped badly.

Next Mini I build won't be green. ? I think. Possibly.

Those both are way cool.

[Gramps46]

Both are very well done.  Good old Guido at Scale Kraft did some really neat bodies.

[Mike C]

Definitely cool builds.?

[TonyK]

I like them both but the pickup especially.

Awesome Pair of Minis

[Bugatti Fan]

Both very nice.

Reminds me of when I was a fire extinguisher service engineer back in the 60's with a Mini Van. A very basic vehicle to say the least. Slide back door windows and a cord pull to undo the doors from the inside. I might model my old van someday.
