1976 Charlie's Angels Chevy van

[RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA]

This is a restoration of a 1/25 scale Revell Charlie's Angels van. Some pics here shows how it was when I rescued it. It was dirty & covered in fingerprints & glue stains. Wet sanded the edges and deleted parting lines. Rubbing compound was used on the body, but not the decals. The whole thing was polished with Meguiar's wax to bring the faded beauty to showroom condition. Painted some of the chassis components and added raised letter tires after reattaching the wheels. Also added all the door, vent, and hood cut lines. I'm leaving the interior & exterior mostly the way the original owner built it, because the person did a fairly decent job other than the stains on the body and some glass.

Added window moldings, side markers and script detailing to my 1976 Charlie's Angels Chevy van. Also carefully touched up missing areas of the decals on both sides with a brush and flat black paint from a jar. Looks more finished now. Good thing there were no stains on that shag carpet!

Turned out very nice and your touch up on the decal is very impressive. I always enjoy seeing what members do with Vans.

That is really neat, man it takes me back to my childhood when the tv show was a must watch. Top notch.??

Thank you everyone for the compliment! Much appreciated!

@slusherThanks! Probably not a lot of these got built. I see a few on ebay and some are like new with clear wrapping from the factory.

@STU111Thanks! I still watch all five seasons every now & then on my DVDs I collected like fifteen years ago. Good thing these days they can also be streamed online.

I had totally forgotten about this version of that crazy Revell van kit. It looks good in pink.

Looks great. I have one too. Don't know what the inside looks like. Just sits on the table.

Nice one! I've got a Hardy Boys version of this, which is quite rare that needs a little bit of the same updates that you did to yours.

I enjoyed seeing the restoration of the Charlie's Angels Revell Model Mobil Unit Van.  

I am the owner of the original Charlie's Angels van, that this model kit was replicated after:

I thought I would share the real van with you!

@Jack COndon Wow! This is super amazing! Thank you for sharing! I'm happy to know you enjoyed my work on restoring that Revell Charlie's Angels van model.

Currently I'm working on putting together a model of John Bosley's 1979 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau. It should be ready a few weeks from now.
