Chuck Most Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 This is a mostly box-stock buildup of the Rescue Van reissue- I got the red molded version and painted it white just to stack on one more challenge. The not box-stock decals are from an old Microscale sheet. I was going for a used but well maintained sort of look. I left off the mirrors for now- the kit mirrors are junk- I'll dig out some better replacements one of these days.
unclescott58 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Looks very good. Needs hub caps though. Not the chrome ones, but the white painted ones. Scott Edited October 28, 2014 by unclescott58
slusher Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Super nice build Chuck. The chevy 1500 mirrors are the best but not factory for this year van. What primer did you use???
thatz4u Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Different sorta build Chuck, do you ever do box stock?
Danno Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Solid B. Nice job, but the wheels don't match the body (color wise), wipers need work and without mirrors, . . . well, we just can't give it an 'A', now can we?
Chuck Most Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks guys! Super nice build Chuck. The chevy 1500 mirrors are the best but not factory for this year van. What primer did you use??? I I remember, I went with red oxide primer during the bodywork phases, then a coat of primer sealer, and a coat of silver paint followed by one more coat of primer sealer- Duplicolor was used for the entire process. Solid B. Nice job, but the wheels don't match the body (color wise), wipers need work and without mirrors, . . . well, we just can't give it an 'A', now can we? Did what I could with what I had. If I build another one, now I know all the areas on the kit that'll need a bit more help than usual.
Guest Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Well done. I think I would shorten the wipers tho.
Chuck Most Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 Well done. I think I would shorten the wipers tho. Definitely. Thinning them a bit would help in the looks department, too.
mk11 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Might as well climb on the dogpile... don't C30s have 8 lug wheels? Actually, really nice work, Chuck mike
peekay Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Very realistic, great detailing and the you nailed the slightly used look.
Wonderbread Kustomz Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Looks really cool... Very nice...
Nick W. Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 You could use the mirrors from the amt/mpc 1984 GMC!
Dominik Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 nice cargo van - like it and gives me insperation to do mine. as i build the "foxy Box" i shortened the wipers...and glued the ugly mirrors i think... ...yes, i did..
