do you glue your wheels on to it, and did you have to sand it and spray it or just spray it

 

The chrome wheels are jada 1/24 ones and jsut use the orignal axle's so they arnt glued on. The wheelson the blue one are from a maisto 350z and are glued on but still rotate if your careful.

As the transit's are plastic, just sand them down and paint them. I always sand down quite a bit around the doors as thats where I find the doors rub on most models.

 

very nice

 

sounds good thank you im getting one soon so i wanted some ideas because i just have to pull apart and mess around is that white transit the friction motor one?

 

Yeah, I left the motors in aswell.

Remember, their plastic not metal, so DONT use nitromors paint stripper on it.

 

that sounds like a good idea wen i get my transit and nitromors will melt the plastic wont it ?

 

Yeah it does.

Ive just used acetone free nail varnish remover on a plastic Focus ST, same powco brand as the Transit's. Was a bugger to get off as it was previously painted, but that didnt damage the plastic.

You most likely dont need to strip off the paint if you are painting the whole van, just sand it down.

 

i have one im in the middle of finishing if i ever get round to it, still hunting for the right wheels(may end up using the cossies from escort) have a-bar and sidesteps made for it too

 

Started modding mine from lhd to rhd. Insides done just got the blue paint and stripes to do and the Sport van wheels to make

 

would you send me pics of it wen its finished please.

 

Yes i'll put some up.Its been about 2 years since i did the insides. But it should be done this year. lol

 

Rob i didnt know you were into your models.

That dash looks mint.

 

Just 1/18th stuff. This is the first plastic one I've done. Stopped work on it when I was trying to cast up some sport van wheels.

 

Ive mostly got 1.18th scale models too.Im trying to get a good selection of fords collected.Ive got a few fords now but i just want a few more lol.

 

I've just got a VW Touran in 1/18th, not easy to get hold of in the V1 version. Going to do a repaint to match my full size

 

Ha ha nice one.

 

just wondering if theres any chance you could post a couple of pics of this van please. thank you

 

Touran or Van?

 

both please if it isnt a problem

 

Ok i'l sort some out

 

thank you

 

Transit 1/18


Touran 1/18 V1

 

that is a realy nice touran how much was it and will you be modding it ?

 

Going black with some 18" VAG option alloys. When I decide on some for the road car.
There not cheap, £59. They pop up on eBay.com. My was from France. V2's are easier to find and there are some of the new V3's too.

 

sounds like its gunna be a stunna of a car i think £59 pound is not to bad but i would still worry about taking it apart, is there any chance you can post pics wen done please ?.
