I do remember the KISS van, Charlie's Angels, and several other van kits from the 70s. I did a quick eBay search and it is the Monogram Baja Beast, although I know I pronounced it Baj-a and not Ba Ha.

The blue one was the Revell Convoy Van.

I know a guy I used to frequent to years ago that sells nothing but car kits. Haven't stopped there in a couple years. I'm gonna head out there and see if he has the KISS van. Remember that one Rob?

One thing that always blows my mind is how the heck did they do the swirl mix of colors on the kit.

so many of these old van kits from my childhood. I remember having a yellow van with a small dirt bike and wood grain side ramp. It was one of my favorites. Another was a custom van molded in metallic blue that had a removable roof so you could see the bed, TV and stuff inside. Great memories!
