I've seen die cast Car models. Not a plastic one. Or RC.

Ideally it would be a complete kit including body, but if the design was right I would be happy to create a bespoke body for a kit chassis.

I have been gifted the following 1:10 scale body, anyone know what it is?
Should be perfect for some sign writing on the sides, topics welcomed.
Need to look for suitable chassis now.

Although its not quite correct it has a hint of Wallace & Grommet about it! (There's was an Austin A35 Van)

That thing is COOL!!!!
I think I need one!!!
It might not be the most aerodynamic thing out there but its VERY unique!
What are your plans for this one?

@CertifiedMike , I think I'm going to make an RC car from it, but adapt it so that I can run it on our tethered track as well.
It's unlikely to be fast but could be fun. It stemmed from me mentioning building a UK style ice cream van.

I am looking forward to finding a suitable chassis to put under it, my quick measurements suggest that its got an 8" wheel base and arches are 6 1/8" at the widest point. Would be happy to use a pre-loved unit.

I love the last build you did!
I can't wait to see what you come up with this time!
I could see that body on a monster truck, a drift chassis, a 4x4 buggy, drag truck... I might be forced to build a whole fleet!
That body is really cool! I am a fan of antique cars and trucks anyways. It was easy to win me over with this one!

I am beginning to wonder if this is a 1/12 scale the wheel base of 1/10 scale chassis seem to be a bit big at 10".

Picture of a real one, Morris Minor Van, used for local deliveries and favorite with 'light trades' electricians etc in the UK back in the 1950's and 60's.

Someone forgot to mold the door handles.

I didn't even catch that! But other than that, it looks like a very nice body.

It does feel good quality, the fella who passed it on to me is a flyer and tethered car guy and told me it had sat on his shelf for years and that I should make some thing of it.

I spotted the door handle ‘dimples’ too.

I am reluctant to cut the windows out because I believe it will be stronger and more streamlined keeping the body whole, what is the preferred treatment for windows that aren’t actually windows! Gloss black, silver, any other options?

Nice body, looks like it will make a cool addition.

They do make window tint paint for lexan bodies.

Yeah but "smoke" is for transparent lexan bodies if that's what you're thinking.

I'd cut the windows out then shoe goo lexan pieces in there.
