Yeah, its a nice model, seen a few different things done with it over the years, Thanks I really need to do a stand alone video on clear part fixing. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching
That was a great build it really brought out the character of the MkII transit van, these Mk II were alwzys better to drive than the Mk I, a company I worked for bavk in New Zealand had a Mk II, one day the driver spilt a milkshake in the cab, and you could still smell it twelve months later, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed the video, bloody hell, bet that van was popular after that, 12 months tho.... thing is thats the nature of these vans been used for work they tend to end up been treated a bit savage. Did you know that the ford transit, was THE most used getaway car in the Uk for many years? As empty it was really light with a big engine, the only thing that could catch one, was another ford transit, so we got loads of ford transit police paddy wagons
Still have some of this kit. It was built during a boring rainy holiday in Morecambe roughly in 84. Have the shell and floorpan but all the bits like wheels and windows have gone think I'll drop whats left of it on a 1,24 RC car chassis!
Unironically yes... I should build your car with all the hobbies in the back, people would think, this cant be real, golf fishing badminton rackets...and a collection of musical sound tracks
Hahaha ahh you know I wish I had thought of that at the time, my personal favourite rear of van dirt writing is " I wish my wife was as dirty as this van"
Hahaha ah them seats where dodgey! hahaha yeah Im good mate just getting on with work really, seasons only really just started thanks to the weather but its kicked off in a big way this year, need to come up with the crawlers with you guys again, you lot still out mid week as well as the weekends?
@@scalestuff1066 I bet and all the rain and now sun everything has grown well. Yea Wednesdays and weekends, think haberly Sunday? Also if you want to do a detailed car the the tamiya Toyota supra is a great little build, full engine with opening bonnet and interior 👍🏻interior
I might be able to do a Wednesday, weekends are a bit busy until the seasons over with. Nice Ill have a look at it, was looking at the old type Hilux raised wheel beds but people on ebay wanting silly money for them
She’s great and well saved with the weathering in the bed :)
Cheers mate, was a bit touch and go when that crinkling happened
Wow didn't even know this kit existed. Very cool project, turned out awesome. Nice tip on the clear part polishing. Thanks for sharing your hard work!

I ❤ it😂😂😂! Appreciate the build, really appreciate the humour. Brings back so many memories!
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Only thing missing is the rust on the bottom of the doors and the side panels😂😂🤣😂
True that, tbh I really need to work on rusting effects, especially if I plan on doing more older cars 😂
Now they’re doing the REAL classics.
Yeah cant beat the old ones

Ah tbh that would be great if you could get it running, wouldnt need the windows if it was going to be RC as they would only get broken
That'd be great to turn into an rc car
Yeah as a little RC it would be really nice
Still cleaner than my car

Cheers mate
Needs “wash me” and “also comes in white” scrawled on the back door 😂

I used to hate having to go under seats in the truck
Same dude, you know what lurks under there, old sarnies, rags coated in things that are best not mentioned.Hope your doing well dude
@@scalestuff1066 lol Ur sandwich nearly ended up on the roof in my truck. Yea I'm good yourself

It would be good to scratch build a rear view mirror, just to hang some fluffy dice off of. I'm sure I saw this van, in an episode of Aufweidsein Pet.
Yeah, ah Aufwiedsein pet, now theres something I need to re watch havent seen that in years!
The step of the van should be the colour of the van Not carpet
Thats fair, I was going more off the vans I had at work, older vans where abit more no frills than the new ones
Typical italeri 😂
Hahah yup I tend to avoid them
