A while ago I finished this kit and I like to share some photo's with you of the build and the finished model.
All the resin is very clean and no air bubbles, the line this model is one of the finest I have seen of a Breadvan.
What is in the box:
One chair was missing, but I used the chairs from a 250 GTO of Kyosho.
Wire wheels are spare parts from my own, but after all, I only used the brakes!
After cleaning and sanding the first priming:
A little bit filler:
And then I discovered APM has forgotten to make some holes in the body.
So I carved them in by my self.
Colour and varnish:
During drying time of the body, I began with the interior:
In the interior I used parts of other brands: steering wheel and chairs from Kyosho 250 GTO, seatbelts from MFH and some parts of Tremonia, SMS, Legende Miniatures, Hobby Design and Red Run.
Tyres are from Kyosho 250 GTO and wire wheels are from BBR.
To fit the tyres I had to widened the wire wheels.
The brakes of APM were not correct, so I changed them a little bit to fit the wheels.
In mean while I polished the body and painted the inside.
Now we can finish the rest of the body:
When the exterior is finished, we can build in the interior and the rest:
And then, on a beautiful sunny day, it was time for the final pictures:
I hope you liked the build and the final result.
Thanks for watching! :)

Spectacular! I would love to see it in person.
Did you also make the leather base?

The leather base belongs to a vitrine-box from BBR.

Thank you my friend.
As you know, I am doing all this with spray cans.
So it was a lot of work to polish this model.
But after all, I'am very happy with the result!
