True that, tbh I really need to work on rusting effects, especially if I plan on doing more older cars 😂

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

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!

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

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!

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

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

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

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.
