Plastic model van

execpt for a VW, Citroen, a US staff car and a couple of sport cars there is not much in 1/48 what era are you looking for? modern, or specific dates?

My first guess would be to refer you to accessories for O scale model trains, which are about 1/43 scale.  I did a quick web search though and couldn't find anything that was closer than a Dodge Sprinter-type delivery van.

And I coulda sworn TC had a VW van.

TC's van may have been a VW.  The only vw vans I can find are 60's era vans.  If I can't find one I guess I'll have to make my own.  I have the Magnum PI series on DVD, I will have to pay closer attention to what van it is.  This idea just hit me when I came across a Hughes 500D in the hobby shop and thought that a Magnun PI diorama might be kind of fun

IIRC it was a VW painted like the chopper. You could also do a jeep with a stretch body and a fringe top in some wild color. Of course you could almost do ANY fancy car and claim it was one of Robin Master's in the garage we just had not seen

TC drove a 1983 Vanagon Wasserboxer. I know because a friend of mine had the same van and painted it (with a brush ) to match.

there are only 2 types of people, those who grew up in the sixties and those who remember the sixties, Dan class of 1969

LOL here you are trying to remember, and I'm trying to forget!

Here's a pic of some diecast models of the Magnum PI stable:

I wonder if you can still find this on eBay?
