Here we have three vans that I recently purchased. Although Dapol released them some time ago, for some reason I did not purchase any, probably the age old reason – could not afford them!

After opening the boxes, I sealed the ‘tampo’ printing with a coat matt varnish. I have had problems in the past with thinners attacking the printing during weathering, this stops any deterioration of print.

Two types of Vans here, firstly two air braked VEA’s and a vacuumed braked predecessor, VMV.

All Vans had the wash and wipe method, airbrushed and dry-brushed.
