59 Chevy Task Force

[Jürgen M.]

Hi everyone. Most of you will not know me yet. I'm normally at home in 'big rigs and heavy equipment'!

What I'm doing here?

To begin with, I'm a fan of the movie 'Convoy' and I've already built 7 rigs from the movie. Since my shelf has become quite full and there are no more trucks from the movie I really want to build I decided to build these two vehicles to fill up the shelf:

First one is this 59 Chevy Task Force 3100:

My question:

Does anyone here know if there's a kit in 1/25 scale I could use?

The box I would scratch build or print. I only need the pick-up truck.

If there's none on the market I'll have to design it myself. I was just hoping I wouldn't have to! 

This will be the second one:

This Chartreuse micro bus. As far as I can see, basically also a Chevy , quite similar to the Task Force but larger.

I'd be happy to get any information on potential kits of this one too.

Thanks in advance for any Infos.

Quite similar to the Convoy Bus 😉

This kit should be close to what you need.

It is 6309. I know there are some issues with the windshield fit and I used the one from a Cameo kit. Here is a link to my build if you’re interested. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/180397-‘57-chevy-stepside/
