Finished. Had a last minute hicup with the drivers side mirror, which were a PITA all along. Racks are scratch built, & plastic pipe doubling for,
well, plastic pipe.

Pretty much OOTB, I added the above, plus door panels & armrests, valve stems & a CB radio. No engine detail, since the bonnet is fixed & I was too lazy to open it up.

Outstanding, not only the build but the photography also. Looks like a real truck parked along the curb. Super job, Chris.

Looks great Chris. Love the rope tying down the pipes.

Thanks guys. I had to add the roof racks & pipes. They hide some paint issues in the roof!

The 'ropes' were fiddley enough to make me say to Anne "if I ever tell tell you that I'm going to build a sailing ship model, remind me of this"

Well done. The roof rack and tubes really make it. The rear step is just right and the realism of the nice stock hubcaps are right on! Bonus for the clean chrome body trim too.

Nice work van Chris. Looks ready to hit the road to the next job site. I agree with everyone else that the rack and pipes add a lot of realism to the van.

Great photo shots too!

That's a great build! Can pass of as the real thing or at the very least a van for undercover stakeouts. Haha! Awesome!

This such a great build. The addition of plastic pipe and clean build make this a very neat model.
Nice Work!
