[@3414mercury]

Sunday morning with coffee and hpiguy! Everytime I think the internet is our downfall, you remind me to celebrate it!

[@Stewart-t2x]

Sweet build, I like the way it came together. Nice paint job and decal work.

[@americanpatriot2422]

Outstanding video and presentation

[@maryfiltz800]

This looks really good - love the bright colors of Fanta.

[@richardlee1092]

Nice job on the tri-tone paint job! Love the Fanta graphics, nice variation on Round2’s Coke license. Thanks Chris for the review! 😎

[@KimMiskell-j6w]

Great job on that van.thanks for sharing

[@JimFlanagan4206]

Very cool! Round 2 loves this kit. I think it's the 4th version in the past 5 years😅

[@craigwellsjr3968]

Nicely done Chris. That one groovy van.

[@rooster3157]

My wife and I enjoy watching your videos every weekend.. she was wondering if you could do a build of the older 1978 Firestone pickup .. since no one else has yet to do a good build video of it

[@kramm9322]

I'm really digging this one

[@StoutCreations24]

Looks great!

[@janvanrenselaar5998]

Great build sir. Thinking of using colorshift paints from Green World stuff on it. Like a pshycadelic show van, but still with the fanta decals on it. Like a limited 1000 th van edition. BTW build the 55 chevy turbo on 1-16 scale like you did a while ago. Detailed it to the max. And was a awesome kit for a very nice price $50,- about here in Spain. Ordered yesterday the 55 cabrio and the Nomad. Great kits to fool around with. And a very nice weekend to all the builders and vieuwers out there

[@michaelhobbyshop]

Turned out great

[@snoopychrysler]

"Chateau" 4:28

[@pithyplastics6027]

The elite Ford line lol.

[@SolamenteVees]

@ Right? Why not Montague?

[@joemazzola7387]

You beat me to it but I think that designation was for the passenger deluxe version with windows

[@BrianAhearn8597]

That's what I came here to say chateau pronounced shattoe.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

When Coca Cola swallows up a brand (pun intended) anyway they know how to market FUN ! This was a FANTA tactic build. Way to go ! ! ! Thanks, Chis, for sharing.

[@doublenickelbob]

Great video Chris, keep em coming I'll keep watching

[@toddw6716]

Nice work that tape looks good

[@DavidPayne-j5z]

Very nice work as always Chris it says CHATEAU

[@edwardnash7411]

Thank you for the video

[@adriangillock700]

I won't one soon I love old school vans

[@goforitpainting]

So cool. 👍

[@stephen1098]

i commend you on having the patience to put together some of those older models. Every time i try to one i just get frustrated that nothing lines up.

[@JackWebster-cs8hi]

Great job like always buddy

[@IamGalvatron]

If I’m not mistaken the only other build of the Ford Econoline kit you’ve done was the cruising van kit.

[@grega4450]

That is a beautiful

[@alanr4863]

love it

[@joemazzola7387]

Chris , make the next van a work van thats extra Rusty

[@The8429]

It could be built as a creepy white van.

[@juils65]

Nice work Chris, what do you do with all the models you build? do you give them away or just store them on display somewhere.

[@brettwilkinson8904]

Fanta was brought to life in 1941 in Nazi Germany due to a trade embargo. They came up with different flavors because of the embargo.

[@DontAskWhyItsJustCuz]

Yeah!!! You should explain why you do what you do on your models!!! So we know the difference from yours & how they have it set up…

[@Anymouse6980]

When you do the spray cans, can you hear the music?

[@tedharris8659]

oops mistake thats Chateau not Chapeau means "house" in French since I dont speak French it all sounds the same to me

[@PeterWilliamson-df1vi]

Chsteau is a Canadian Econoline van

[@ensignjimmy3237]

It’s just a trim level…not a special Canadian thing.

[@tedharris8659]

not sure but I seem to remember that emblem you are talking about says "chapeau"---for some unknown reason I seem to remember that being referred to as a type of ford van from that era--tried to find something on the inner web but came up with a blank--now mind you this is just something that popped up in my fuzzy brain--could be wrong--and yes I know "chapeau" is French for hat---

[@tedharris8659]

ahha. found evidence that Ford did make a Chapeau van around 1977 found photos of one that appears to be two wheel drive and one that was a window van dont know how long they were made though

[@dwightatnorthernstar1820]

leave the cap off of super glue, the tip will not dry and glue runs back in to tube....Tip from an another you tube modeler....

[@heidihobear]

What was the tan paint you used for the interior?

[@frederickhettesheimer2698]

Chris how do you make your decals release from the backing paper so easily

[@RonaldHuff-f6p]

ford econoline chateau

[@adriangillock700]

Were did he get the tape at I want some

[@ensignjimmy3237]

He gave you the name (Washi tape) and a place where you can find it (craft store). It’s pretty easy to google.

[@dunhill1]

I've seen it at WalMart on the craft aisle. I'll pick up a roll on my next visit.

[@stanleyrussellsr3981]

It's the old Coca Cola van😢😢😢

[@purpurahaze9179]

Yeah that's how the model companies try to make their money back and earn a profit so they can make more kits for us😮

[@dunhill1]

It's also the AMT Ford Vantom van plus all the other Ford vans. They all share the same parts on the same sprues. You can build identical stock van in any of the Ford van models.

[@udorechner6846]

Very nice van with a beautiful paintjob. I like the interieur simple an clean. Only the purple chassis is a bit disturbing. I don't think that anyone would paint a chassis this way because nobody would normaly see it. Two little mistakes i found. compaired to the box art, you instaled the rear triangular windows the wrong way. the peak of the triangular should point forward not backwards... but overall awesome result.

[@daniellandolph-hu9im]

Ah orange fanta an Chris Chan Sonichu classic
