Out of my comfort zone, built for a friend who owns ar real one (Panel van though)
This is actually another "Corona stalled" build, stuck because it was repainted (and filled/sanded) twice both due to my clumsiness and the Xtracolor enamel paints being wayyy different between 2 (bought at the same time) tins.
Anyway, the sales ticked still in the box said december 2010, so it's just in time for it's 10th anniversary.
Decals are by a Dutch company "Flevo Decals" and worked flawless, the Hasegawa kit decals desintegrated in contact with water, which I never had before. The 4-slot wheels were sourced (by accident!) from Ebay, probably of some Die-cast model or other, as the kit comes with multi-slotted VW Beetle wheels.
All in all not bad for a first car model in ages (and one with many ridges, lines and window seals!), and I could use some WWI aircraft model techniques as well on the exhaust system and woodwork in the load area :)
