1:18 APM full-kit 250 GT "Breadvan"

de **GTO62** » Mar 30 Sep 2014 00:33

A while ago I finished this kit and I like to share some photo's with you of the build and the finished model.

All the resin is very clean and no air bubbles, the line this model is one of the finest I have seen of a Breadvan.
What is in the box:

One chair was missing, but I used the chairs from a 250 GTO of Kyosho.

Wire wheels are spare parts from my own, but after all, I only used the brakes!

After cleaning and sanding the first priming:

A little bit filler:

And then I discovered APM has forgotten to make some holes in the body.
So I carved them in by my self.

Colour and varnish:

During drying time of the body, I began with the interior:

In the interior I used parts of other brands: steering wheel and chairs from Kyosho 250 GTO, seatbelts from MFH and some parts of Tremonia, SMS, Legende Miniatures, Hobby Design and Red Run.

Tyres are from Kyosho 250 GTO and wire wheels are from BBR.
To fit the tyres I had to widened the wire wheels.

The brakes of APM were not correct, so I changed them a little bit to fit the wheels.

In mean while I polished the body and painted the inside.

Now we can finish the rest of the body:

When the exterior is finished, we can build in the interior and the rest:

And then, on a beautiful sunny day, it was time for the final pictures:

I hope you liked the build and the final result.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you guys!

It's always take a lot of time and patience to build a nice model.
One of the most important things is dry-fitting, but I think the most builders know that.

The kit was very nice, smooth resin and good quality PE-material.
But there are always some parts in different kits from APM, witch are not so good.
In most kits of APM the wheels or tyres are to small, I am always searching for a solution.
In this kit there were a few parts I did not like, so I used a lot of parts of a 250 GTO from Kyosho.
And sometimes you must make the parts by yourself.

To put everything together before you going to paint or glue.

Thank you, my friends!

In a few weeks, I am going to start again on a project, that stopped 4 months ago.
By a lot of work in my job and rebuilding's in my home, I had no time and space to build.
People who are married, know what I mean. :cry:
