What a brilliant build! I see these types of van all over the place here in the U.S. (and I tend to notice them as I didn't grow up here, so I'm not used to them), and your one looks perfect - and nicely scaled too. I think I'm going to have to pick one up for a post-apoc diorama I've been thinking of doing.

I'm in for a set of lights and step. But only because I'm lazy.  ;)

Great looking cast.

Superb work Phil! :-*

And that step in action, it obscures the rear lights slightly but I don't think that's a problem.



and "click"



unfinished when I took a photo but now finished.



I modelled it after the most stylish one I saw on a SWAT van but thought slight recesses would make it a lot easier to paint.

Both these pieces will be included in the final model as standard.  8)

This is really looking great.  Looks like it's definitely going to be up to the standard of your previous work.
