Review and Photos by Alan Mann \"Alan<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0The Econoline is a line of full-size vans (both cargo and passenger) from the Ford Motor Company. The line was introduced in 1961 as a compact van and its descendants are still produced today. Though the E-Series (Econoline) has been its own unique platform since 1968, it uses many components from the F-Series line of pickup trucks. While this was a rear wheel drive vehicle there were custom builders that would do a 4×4 conversion to the vans. They were called Quadravans and were produced by aftermarket companies for Ford Motor Company and Ford Dealerships. Individuals also would do these 4×4 conversions using the front suspension parts from the F-Series Pickups.<\/p>\n

For the modeler:<\/strong> This build review covers the Round2\/MPC kit #MPC813 Ford Econoline HighJacker Off Road \u00c2\u00a0Custom Van molded in 1\/20 scale. The kit is a direct re-release (Re-Pop) from the original molds and has not been in production since the 70\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. Contents \"000b\"<\/a> consist of over 200 parts molded in White, Clear and Clear Red, Chrome and with Vinyl tires. The build is highly detailed with interior parts for a custom camping style conversion. The motor has multiple parts and very detailed. The body is a 1974 version of the Econoline van and has opening rear and side doors. The chassis is a conversion 4×4 and has nice off-road tires, although the tires are more suited for a 1\/24 scale 4×4 as they are too small for this truck. There is a large decal sheet with mural panels for the van sides. The instruction sheet is typical of the earlier MPC offerings in the 70\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and a bit simplified but easy to follow. The finished build is impressive with a little bit of weight and size to it. Overall measurements are: Length: 9-1\/2\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Width: 4\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Height: 5\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n
