Its popularity continues to this day despite numerous design changes made along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This model was a lot of fun to build, especially since it&#8217;s a rather simplified kit. The customizer would have a field day with it, but the modeler interested in building a simple everyday work van will have to remove the molded-in custom fender-well flares. Despite the few niggling issues I encountered, overall fit and finish were quite good. This tooling is aged, but there were few instances of flash, kudos to Revell&#8217;s QC team. Therefore, I would have to give this kit a rating of 8 stars out of 10. It&#8217;s nice to see vans being re-issued&#8230;I&#8217;m a big fan of them. I hope to see more vans model come out, whether re-issued or newly tooled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>For the modeler:<\/strong> Although the kit is a dream to assemble there are a few things that the builder should be aware of. Instruction errors; customizing suggestions; inner wheel modifications; kit bashing for stock configurations; seat mounting suggestions; scratch building a radio antennae; finishing techniques for the taillights, are all fully explained in the Step-by-Step review.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">To see the full build and review &#8211; just select one of the payment methods below for $2.99 USD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\" \/>\u00c2\u00a0<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"BWSQJX3AFN7LU\" \/>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 <input type=\"image\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/form>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00c2\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Important!<\/span> &#8211; You <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">MUST<\/span> click on the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Return to Right on Replicas, LLC<\/span>&#8221; link after you&#8217;ve made your purchase to download your review!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Right On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92012 All rights reserved. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">*All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar gaJsHost = ((\"https:\" == document.location.protocol) ?
