1963 Morris Mini Van Pro Street

[Chuck Most]

This is my other Morris Mini Van. I actually started this 5 or 6 years ago but it languished in the box until I finished the green one I posted a few days ago. It's a slammer, since it will ultimately become a trailer/flatbed load I chose not to go crazy with the details. Wheels and hubcaps are from a Revell 64 Chevrolet pickup, with parts box Dunlop tires up front and Mickey Thompsons out back. The body has shaved handles and wipers, but the A panel seams missing from the resin body was added using Evergreen D strip. Paint is Colorshot Stiletto (red) and Marshmallow (white). Told you the next Mini would not be green. ??Spare Tamiya kit parts fill out the rest.

Those are awesome.  Very tiny and fiddly too I bet.

My job back in the sixties was servicing fire extinguishers over here in the UK, and you guessed it, my vehicle was a Mini Van.

Would be nice to build a model of my old workhorse from way back! I guess the models featured must be using Trans Kits?   I have heard of a ready built die cast Mini Van in 1/18th scale I think possibly by Maisto, but never seen one. Also I would imagine that there may be one of two die casts in 1/43rd scale from someone like Dinky, Corgi or Vanguard models.

The featured models are very nice builds of a vehicle unusual in any kit form.
