Willys Van

AMT 33 Willys van.
Early Hemi from the AMT 29 Ford Roadster.
Scratchbuilt grille.
Orange Pearl & Dusky Rose Pearl over Orange cleared with Tamiya clear - all enamels thinned with GP thinners.
Decals from Revell '68 Charger.

That's one very wild willys van   

COOL COOL COOL COOL COOL COOL!!!!!
I love everything about this baby, it got ATTITUDE, and a nice finish too mate.
 

That's cool Fred, you don't see these very often.
Looks tough mate

 very cool

   Great stance.

 That looks awesome. 

very sweet mate .

Thanks folks

Looks great Fred. Hemi is definitely beter than that Cammer.

Nice one Fred  

Cheers dudes.
The cammers not actually that bad if you put a little effort into it and use seleced donor parts (I'm building one for a future gasser project). Worst thing is probably the huge notch in the gearbox to allow it to clear the frame. That and the acres of flash.
Anyone got the latest release of the Ohio George 33 coupe? What's that like for flash?

Very nice, Fred. Love the show-car paint/chrome/whitewalls combo.  And that AMT '29 Ford Hemi never looked so good. Nice pics, too. Now about those decals...

Great work Fred.

Love everything about it, it all looks just right.

  

Very badass love the engine looks tuff as

just cracked the box Fred, almost no flash at all on the parts, a tiny bit of very fine flash on bits of the trees. They really tightened up these molds by the look of it.

Great looking build too by the way

Great news than, I've got a couple of older releases here and well yeah, um....

If I keep seeing builds like this, I might just be tempted to do some smaller scale cars...it would cost me a lot less.  
I like the Willys van because it's different. Good job.

Thanks DSF. I've been tempted by the coupe but until now was put off by the worn moulds.
Opening this kit didn't exactly give me comfort in that direction.
I'll look out for one of the new ones.

B - don't start about the decals. I thought they were fine. In the end it's their loss...

Rob - I bought this kit at Tumut 2012 on a whim. I blame you for broadcasting "I love van" vibes all wekend.

Finally the conversion process has begun....................  

Another van fan in the making.

 

Thanks Carps.
Rob, it won't take much.  My first car was an Econovan.
