Sounds like a slammed VW bus to meIm currently working on a maclaren 720s in orange and a sparkly black. Hopefully I'll find a kit I can use the leftovers on as I love the colours
I found some Mr Muscle oven cleaner under the sink. After submitting the relevant permission forms I was allowed to borrow it, and it has kinda worked.
9 hours and many repeat applications and it's starting to strip the chrome. I'm beginning to wish I hadn't bothered and just smothered any ugly seam lines in mud afterwards!

Don't worry about the blanket being overscale, I used to have a king size 13.5tog quilt folded in half on the bunk, three duck down pillows and then another 17tog quilt on top and I would not get out of bed untill the night heater had warmed the cab and the coffee had brewed....Thanks Allen but I think you are mistaken. You may drive on the right side of the road, but we drive on the correct one

The interior painting didn't go so well as I'm still a bit rubbish at brushing larger areas, but with his chunky fluffy blanky the driver should have a comfy nights sleep.

Yes it's over scale, but once the sleeper is closed up and attached to the cab you'll struggle to even see it.
So I shouldn't try tempt you by telling you that the 1/16 scale samba bus from Revelle builds well... lolNice idea Ian, I may just take you up on that.
