New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I like the colors, but this casting looks like a wannabe terrorist military transport. You know, a notch above the usual Tacoma missile launcher and troops hanging over the sides...shooting rifles into the air...idiots.

At the risk of stoking the fire...this is a Chevy Van, clearly and obviously. Whereas the HW Super Van doesn't share the same lines in my opinion. Even allowing that the MBX is a stretch and the Super Van is a shorty, I just don't see Chevy lines. That's the main reason I've always held the Super Van to be a Dodge. BTW, this is an interesting vari I haven't seen before. Nice! |

They've been around awhile. I think they go back to late in the Lesney era, but they were a mainstay in the line well into the TYCO era. Kinda surprised to hear it was released again as a premium issue in the Matty era, but there are quite a few variations and paints available out there. |
