This is my kit for this group build. Thanks Peter for getting this GB going.

Plenty of parts to keep you busy

I'm in Ian, seem to remember Andy having fun with a van as well some time ago .

 

[Andy T]

I did indeed John.

Ian, I have a spare decal sheet should you happen to need it. Everything bar the UK number plates.

Thanks Andy, if I need them I’ll get in touch.

 

[Ian M]

Yay a bully van . And Jagermiester bonus.

 

[Geoffers]

Something a bit different, nice one Ian.
Good luck with your build

Geoff.

Made a start on this one. First of all I got rid of all the chrome with some bleach, then built and primed the engine.

 

[Mickc1440]

I’m in Ian, looking forward to this

 

[papa 695]

Got a little bit more done to this.

 

[papa 695]

Sorry I’ve not done many updates lately, I’ve been doing 10 minutes here and there, and it doesn’t look much to look at, but over the weeks it does build up.

 

[papa 695]

Continuing from the last post.

That’s all the inside painting done, also started some weathering.
Just a quick question? Is there any 1/24 scale crates and bottles available, to add some interest to the rear compartment.?

 

[Jim R]

A nice choice of kit Ian . Looks like you've been busy. The interior seems very nicely detailed.

 

[peterairfix]

Looking good so far keep up the good work

 

[papa 695]

Got the body work put together, a slight issue with the doors, but fixable. The bottom hinge on the side door is missing. I’m sure I didn’t cut it off.

Playing ketchup Ian! When I saw your first build pics, I thought Revell had short-changed you with only half a motor. Further down, I saw the other half was in the pan underneath...LOL!!! This is really taking shape nicely Sir. Did you add the trim around the seats or just paint it white? It looks good. I'm also sure you'll scratch something up to fix the hinge on the door...

Prost

Thanks Allen, I painted the trim around the seats.

Just had a catch up to Ian and it’s looking really nice. It’s amazing when you’re only dipping in and out of a project just how much you get done

 

[scottie3158]

Ian,
Coming on nicely.

 

[papa 695]

Finally got some painting done.
