    Old Models and Kits-custom vans

    Seeing that Revell Custom van on the other thread made me think of this
    As a teen in the late 70s early 80s i remember going into hobby/model shops in Hadleigh,Lea and Southend and seeing loads of great cool custom vans on the shelfs.MPC seamed to be the main player

    Heres some ive seen on US e-bay this week...




























    Im just a spectator...

    OOh, ooh, I'm sure I built the 'Off Road' van when I was a teenager. I must stop looking at these threads I keep getting strange ideas about getting the paint and glue out again.
