T3 transporter bus

This is built from the un version of the bus. Before I say what has been done I have to say the fit of the glass parts in this kit is terrible and it took hours of sanding and trimming to get something close to usable but the indicstors were beyong repair. Anyway on with the fun stuff. The chassis is mostly from the van but with the suspension and engine from the audi r8 v10 instead. The interior is from a jaguar xj220 trimmed to fit. I also lowered the body about 1/4 inch over the chassis. The paint is tamiya ts51. I will be taking this apart soon to add more clear so it can be polished and the window trim painted black. I might try making new glass for the windows as I'm still not happy with it

Very nice ! Strange for the glass . I have built 3 of these till now & it went quite well

Yes nice build. What happened to the glass, it looks like it was bent and it's not completely transparent...

Will you have BMF on the letters on the back door? If not maybe be you should have shaved them?

I'm going to be taking it apart again when i get more clear so it can be polished. I'll be doing the badges and window rubbers once that is done. The glass was already tinted in this version of the kit, i dont know if the tinted plastic may have altered shape after it was molded or something, In some of the pics you can see the front window is too wide but the molded in vent windows fit

maybe the T3 safari windshield???

Nice build !
