I did it for a bit of fun, I just noticed I missed the wing mirrors off, apart from that it's done

You have created a new GB theme....build some transport, vehicle or similar with the SMF logo!!!
You like the idea...?

Top job John. Love the decals and how uve made it look like your own business van.

 

[Guest]

This would be the van of happiness! Something equivalent to how we viewed the ice cream van when we were kids
Great job John!

 

[Guest]

John
Brilliant work looks really good

 

[Guest]

White van men don't use their blooming wing mirrors anyway so yours is quite accurate in not having them.

 

[Guest]

Excellent work john, lovely paint.

 

[Guest]

Very nice indeed.

Now you have to lower it and put some alloys on it!

 

[Guest]

Nice model John! There is a company named Motobitz that makes conversion kits for this model to enable a small tipper truck and long wheel base van to be made from this kit. They also make a conversion kit and decal set to make the 1980 World Cup Rally Car FEV 1H from the Ebbro Mk 1 Escort. Besides this they offer alternative decals for the Heller kit of the iconic Citroen H Van that can also be used on the alternative one from is it Belkits or Ebbro?
I believe that there was a kit around a number of years ago of the Mk 1 Transit Van in 1/24th scale. Not sure if that was an Italeri kit or not, but would be nice to see it re popped again after all this time.

Great job on your van. Any after-markets ie flattened coke cans, KFC wrappers,Daily Mirror for the cab?
Jon.
Ooh.And happy birhday for the other day.Penny's just dropped!

Jon I think that someone did a photo etched set of 'Interior Junk' in 1/24th scale some time ago. Cannot remember who though.
