John_drummer Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Revell 1:24 VW Campervan (T3 I think) I managed to lose one of the indicator lenses :-( Built straight out of the box, apart from the hub caps , door mirror glass and radiator surround, which are Bare Metal Foil; airbrushed, paints mostly Revell AquaColour, a couple of Tamiya acrylics where I didn’t have the Revell equivalent Kit went together ok, no flash but plenty of ejector pin marks, some in places where I couldn’t do anything about them without losing the detail around them e.g the door mirrors the ‘lid’ is just placed loosely so I could get inside for a couple of photos Edited November 4, 2017 by John_drummer 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWC1968 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Nice build, just a thought, something I've done on those wing mirrors was to use Tamiya liquid glue, put a dollop on and using an old very stiff brush you can re-stypil the effect as the glue slightly melts the plastic. Cheers Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Well done John it looks great. I have a couple, one Revell, one Hasegawa to build of the older rounder shape and two more vans as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrob Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Nice build John. Like the finish. I also have a selection of camper vans in my stash to build. Looking at your build making me think that maybe I should get started on one of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_drummer Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Glad to be of help :-) thanks for the feedback it took a lot of preparation but the assembly once everything was painted was very straightforward. the ‘lid’ and tailgate can be modelled either closed or open, I opted for open. In fact I still haven’t cemented the lid in place Edited November 13, 2017 by John_drummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
