Kevin_Mc 411 Posted December 17, 2014 I'm really asking about Lexan bodies here but hard bodies would also suit if they're all that's available. What i'm looking for is a 1:10 scale body of a European van. Something like a Ford Transit, Merc Sprinter, VW Transporter. I'm after something that's well detailed and actually does look like the 1:1 version. At a push an american style van/truck would do but ideally i'm after a Euro spec vehicle. Has anyone come across any? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mokei Kagaku 2706 Posted December 17, 2014 It depends on in which scale you want it. German company Bruder has several versions of the MB Sprinter in 1/16 scale, and the body is often used for RC-conversions among 1/14.5 and 1/16 scale truck fans. Robbe made a lexan VW T4 Transporter body in 1/10 scale which is still pretty easy to source. Quality isn't great, but not bad for being Robbe. ;-) Maisto has a hard plastic VW T1 Samba in 1/10 scale. A great body, btw! HPI made a lexan VW T1 in roughly 1/12 scale. The original is pretty hard to find, but copies exist. I don't know the manufacturer, but both the VW T2 and T3 exist in roughly 1/12 scale from a minor manufacturer. Quality is mediocre though. Also, a Ford Transit Mk.II lexan 1/12 scale (?) body was made back in the eighties and copies are possible to source. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin_Mc 411 Posted December 17, 2014 The mk2 transit Kamtec do looks like what i'm after. I'm really wanting something 1:10 scale but i really just need the front section so could make almost anything work. The vw t1 is too old for what i need, 80s onwards - do you have any links to the ones you mentioned? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not given RC any thought at all lately. I might still be interested in a T5 shell if there's a good one out there. Only because that's what I drive every day.
