Ford van

MR TOM SCHRY

Thanks Tcoat,

That van turned out awesome.  Oh to be back in the 60's & 70's again!

WOW, Tcoat!  1/20 scale would be great but I don't want to break the bank for one either.  I'll start scrounging the vendors' tables at contests.  Thanks

I have seen them pop up for not to bad a price on EBay but not often. I sort of want one for myself some day.

MR TOM SCHRY

YES, that's the van!  So it's a 72 Ford van.  Does Jimmy Flintstone make a resin 72 resin body?  Thanks Keavdog

Nope. Only the '61 to '67 like the one I built. There are loads of '75+ kits out there but the earlier ones are oddly ignored.

Way, WAY different than the 68 to 74s.

The one in the movie is a '72 but anything from '68 to '74 would be in the close enough arena

MPC Made a '71 in 1/20 but good luck finding one at any sort of reasonable price.

Motor City Resin has a what is supposed to be a very nice one that would be perfect but not sure if still avaiable.

Not a whole lot out there.

I find this site to be invaluable.  Is this the van?
