1976 Ford Econoline Chateau Cruising Van

[RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA]

This is my 1976 Ford Econoline Chateau Cruising Van made from the AMT 1/25 scale 1977 Ford Cruising Van kit. Complete with carpeted interior, seat belts, wood trim, CB radio, 8 track player, etc. The kit allows you to build the '76 or the '77 van as decals for both vans are included in the box.

I discovered there are two lights on the headliner and much of the interior is draped in grey shag carpeting. One thing to note is the plastic kit has sliding door on the passenger side, but the actual Cruising Van has barn doors. I already painted both of my '76 and '77 vans, therefore not incorporating the barn doors on mine for now, but other builders can go the extra mile & make them hundred percent authentic. The Slotted Mag wheels came from parts stash. The Ford Pinto wagon kits comes with those wheels and also you can get a set on ebay too. Paint is Tamiya Silver Leaf and flat black spray paint finished with clearcoat.

That's a great color, especially with those decals. And the mag wheels are spot on! ??
