It says it fits an LRW chassis, but is it legal to have a Hemi in an Econoline? :(

Shouldn't it be a Cammer at the very least?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Happy to help.  :thumbsup:

You're assuming Fred would be Bothered by that little distinction... ;)

Ideally, yes.  or a Boss 429 Semi Hemi.    :wacko:
Although it's always nice to upset the Blue Ovaltinies.

I took a proper look at the Flintsone site.  The Econoline would, including postage, end up costing me in the region of $AU200 (plus a donor kit).  Too rich for me.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Mystery Machine and the Scoobys look good.
Coincidentally ("there is no coincidence" - R.A.Wilson) we were discussing the Mystery Machine last night at the Model Car Club meeting.  I bugs me that there has never been a commercial injection moulded sixties Ford Econovan kit to build one from.

I know it's in a book I have around here somewhere....

Thanks Gondor.   :thumbsup:
I've got one of the Polar Lights version in the stash and I built one for my Niece.
They are bigger than 1/25.  Not bad but i'd love to build a "real" one in 1/25 from an accurate Econoline..
The one I built for my niece I polished up the kit plastic and used the glow in the dark stickers it comes with.

Love that!  Someday I may build one myself.  There are a few STLs on Cults3d, and I found plastic models I must needs buy now.
Just need a scale model of Cher to add to the gang.  She (and Sandy Duncan) returned to the Scooby-verse 50 years after their first appearances.
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Sandy had been in the 1972 episode "Sandy Duncan's Jekyll and Hyde"
Cher, then with Sonny, was in the 1972 episode "The Secret of Shark Island".
In the recent series "Scooby Doo and the Guess Who" they both were guest stars, Sandy in "The Dreaded Remake of Jekyll and Hyde" and Cher in "Cher, Scooby, and the Sargasso Sea".  50 years later and still going!

I never knew that - guess I'll have to peruse the episodes when I get a chance.

Thanks!
