not sure on that one john.

how does everyone manage with their ventilated vans??? do you leave them as is ? or do you cut the doors away ?

only asking as i want to show a ventilated van in a siding being loaded / unloaded thats all.

Personally I would, if the wagon was not going to move, carefully cut the doors out and glue them in the open position - but remember - they won't have panel marks etc. on the inside. Sounds like a job for an Airfix/Dapol/whoever kit.

Some of the Parkside kits come with the doors as a separate moulding that you attach to the plain side. If you wanted to go this route, this plain area will provide guidelines for cutting. As an added bonus, if you mess it up, glue on the doors and try another kit

If you would like details of which kits allow this, then ask and I'll check my van collection.

Hello Kodiak,
Mainline did the Allsopps beer van with sliding doors, Airfix did a meat van with doors on hinges but I can't remember if there was any detail on the inside of the doors (mine are glued in position). These quite often turn up on ebay and I dont think Dapol do it.
