VW T3 Transporter Rusty Van

This is a Revell VW T3 Transporter. People who followed my W.I.P. knows I wanted a clean look van, but after clearcoating the body, the decals started to silvering. I didn't liked it anymore, so I made a rusty van of it. It was my first attempt using real rust, and I think I did a good job on it :sunglasse

Yesterday I finished the car. I added some other decals on the rearwindow and made a aluminium exhaust tip.

This time I don't had to polish the body before taking the photos :)

First some outdoor pics:

I really love the result of it. The kit is very good, but there is not much detail. At least it got an engine :) The fitment is also very good but the hinges for the thrunkdoor are rubbish. I glued mine to the body so it can't open anymore. The sidedoor is openable though.

First I wanted a clean german look for this car. After some silvering on the decals I didn't liked the car anymore, so I had to find a solution for it. Instead of starting again I made a rusty bus of it. I think it's well done now, and the rust is amazing in my opinion. I never new it looked so good before I bought this stuff.

Here's a short list with some accesoires I used:

- aluminium exhaust tip
- various decals
- Porsche 911 Turbo Fuchs wheels
- interiorjunk parts and tools
- Scale Production antracit interiorflocking
- Modern Options Instant Rust

I hope you like it as I do :wink:

Yes it was very hard to make dents and rust on it, because it was sanded and polished before i did :D So after all it was sweating and work for nothing :)

I think the rust is also great on this car. It's a big eye catcher in my display case because all my other models are show and shine models :D

Kris.

Freakin awsome!!!! Excellent weathering!!!

Long life to all Vw vans :ylsuper: they are indestructible !!

Nice job on this one :bigthumb:

Very convincing rust! I'd sell it quick if I were you!

Cheers, Lee
