Wallace & Gromit Curse of the Were-Rabbit Anti-Pesto Van

I picked up two Airfix Anti-Pesto Vans in the hopes to making The Van from Top Bun as well. Studying the Top Bun van it is clear that it is the exact same van (least Aardman used the same molds), as all the same dents, scratches, rust, etc. are in all the same places. First thing I too notice to was the image of the Van on the box appears to be the original prop (not the kit you get in the box).

The Van itself is an Austin A35 and appears to be 1:12 scale (although never stated). There are a lot of inaccuracies in the kit when compared to the Movie Prop. I do believe the kit makers studied a real Austin A35 and not the prop.

I am going to try to make my van's closer in appearance to the van's seen on screen vs the model kit out of the box.

All the rust spots cast into the plastic is going to have to be filled in. Windshield wipers & gas cap trim will need to be sanded off for starters.
