Ok i just wanted to know from fellow TAT fans here, has anybody bought the newish model of the Van in 1.43 scale? If so is it worth the price because ive seen it on Ebay & the detailing looks amazing ;D
Definately a Christmas present for myself, well if not before

There is a good video review here of the 1:18 scale version, the colours are a bit off in the video, it makes the red look more pink, the colours in my photographs are pretty close on to what the van really looks like in real life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=owziwRyzfJM

Thank you Colonel wow those two really are amazing, to be honest id want both but think id go for the 1.18 scale first anyway as its only about £10 more than the 1.43 scale model Fantastic detailing on both but im suprised & abit let down that there is no sliding door feature on the bigger van wanted to see just how good the inside is compared to the screen used van All in all im most impressed with both models, definately need to start saving

Wow. I've never really taken much interest in the van itself but that is one fine looking model! I can't get over how detailed the 1:18 model actually is. I mean - look at the seats!
Just ... wow...

The back doors DO open on the 1:18 scale model I'll have the check the smaller one yeah I need to get a better digital camera mine is old I love how sometimes people with fancy SLR digital cameras take photos of models, and they look like real cars.

Yeah ive seen that model Colonel Smith, i have a 1.18 scale Ecto-1 that i bought about 6 years ago not that exact model though, i personally think what i have is much better the two ariels on my car are correct but for some reason that model is wrong other than that its a nice model I went to a car show back in May & they had a replica Ecto there so me & my mate were kindly invited to dress as Ghostbusters & to give out flyers to promote the car, gave us an excuse to show our gear off ;D Here"s myself pictured stood in front of the car, it was gorgeous & massive Attachments:

Looks a pretty good replica too.
Yeah you really can't appreciate the sheer size of the old Cadillac's until you stand beside one.
