Hello guys,

straigth from the Revell Germany factory I got this new modelkit. I'll build this for a modelmagazine.

I'm a big fan of the T1. And already built the previous Revell Samba 23 Window and now it's time for the Panel Van.



The kit contains a lot of parts and they all look very nice and detailed. No flash a just a few normal sinkmarks and moldlines.

Most of the parts won't be used cause they are made for the 23 Samba Bus. When I finish this model I'll end up with some extra seats, windows and 2 sets of bumpers. For the Panel Van Revell made a few new parts.

I like the Jagermeister decals in this kit and thought it would be nice to use them on this model.

Because the Jagermeister Van doesn't have a VW badge in front, I used Milliput to smooth it.




I removed the chrome on the wheelhubs and put the wheels together cause they will be painted in one shade of green later.



I also started to sand the body parts and remove the moldlines. After that I painted them with Zero Paints Grey Primer.








The chassis needs to be painted Anthracite but I don't have that paint. So i mixed up some paints and think this should be ok. The last layer of paint was sprayed from a bigger distance to replicate a rougher surface.




Hopefully I can paint the bodyparts soon, but I'm waiting for my order from Model-car-kit.com to arrive.

Kris.
