Robert Nagle's CN Express Ford C Series Delivery Van
I modified AMT's 1/25 scale "City Delivery" Ford C series kit to make this van. I scratchbuilt the fuel tank and the wheels are AMT chrome 10-hole disks modified to steel 6-hole. I used Tamiya paints, CN logos from model railroad decal sets, and the black lettering was printed on Testors clear decal paper from CAD artwork. Styrene sheet overlays replaced the kit corrugated van sides. Self-adhesive chrome Mylar simulates reflective surface of rear view mirrors. Scratchbuilt details include mirror brackets, wipers and interior window cranks. Molded-on door handles replaced with free standing parts from IMC Dodge L700 truck kit. Molded-on marker light/emblem on cab doors and "gear & lightning bolt" badge on cab front replaced with parts cut from donor parts kit cab to provide more realistic thickness.
