That’s everything this model should be ! I know that’s a prototype but do you think they’ll put the extra seats and gun cabinets in it ? This one has all that detail and you can’t get to it ! Thanks for sharing that. M

@@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES No problem. I just came upon your video yesterday and subbed. He may or may not have those options covered,but it couldn’t hurt to contact the creator. He’s pretty open to ideas from fans alike and is transparent too. Specially if something’s missing. To please the fans of the controversial/failed Engine of Vengeance Haslab,he ventured in creating the Ramen Racer in black,which can double as the The Ghost rider/Blade/Fast and Furious 68-70 era Charger. He’s even done the General Lee (Ramen Racer Orange) and the canopy for The Mcfarlane 89’ Batmobile. The A-Team van will also have the option to double as a Punisher van with different wheels. He has a few videos on the prototype under the name Bread car. Hope this helps!

The top was more of a gun metal Grey, not the silver on the models.

That’s how we remember it too as a kid, it’s not till you watch it back that you notice it ! M

That’s good to know thank you !

@@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES You're welcome mate. The Lunchbox is very, very similar to the A-Team van and being a Tamiya model it's a fun build as always. They've rereleased a lot of their 80's and 90's cars, and they're very reasonably priced. I'm not meaning to rag on the model in this video, I just look at value for money and this isn't it. I bought a 1 series BMW for driving to work and back to save putting miles on my nice car, and that cost only 3x what this model is worth.... food for thought. Great channel by the way. Thanks for making such interesting content.

🤣🤣🤣 your timing was impeccable ! I had to include it, I think the back to the future car in this scale is a magazine part work so your probably looking at big money !

It must have been an influence on the design of the van, I’m going to have to look into more of the history of its design, like I said it would still stand up today, it hasn’t really dated at all. Hope you enjoyed the video, thank you for commenting ! M

Forget I just said that. It closed in 2011.

I do still have one in stock, it’s been a popular model ! I think because of the size and quality of the model ! If your ever in Blackpool, pop in and take a look. Best M

The cost would be huge to do that in 1:12th scale, saying that if you could remove the top of the van to see the inside that would be a good compromise. Although there is one in development with opening doors at the side and rear ! Hope you enjoyed the video. M

I think it was two-tone black and grey but hadn’t realised until years later ! Hope you enjoyed the video ! M

@@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES yup, watched a video bob moseley piece on the van ans it was silver, but appeared as a trick of light, and was often seen as black. i do hoever have an r/c model of the van with opening doors, which plays the theme.

I see you’re point ……..but have you ever had any 12th scale models ? I’ve not had many of them in the shop but what seems to happen once they get past 1:18th scale manufacturing problems start to appear, especially with die cast. Doors fall off or hinge’s drop, detail is compromised, there are great toys of this model out there but detailed collectors ones are expensive and few am far between. Again you have a great point with the price, it’s not for everyone, but my aim is that people get to see these items either by video or by visiting the shop to see them in the flesh, so people get to make their own minds up ! I hope you enjoyed the video, thank you for your comment ! M

I think it’s down to manufacturing, if the made the 1/12 in metal they could have had opening doors, but I can make the model look wrong having to reinforce the hinges. Plus the tooling would be way more expensive, as would the cost of the model. So it’s a compromise, but if your a fan your going to consider it ? Thanks for commenting. M

@@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES I like my 1/18
