Very nice example of curved look made with without panels!

@MIlan: You mean without panels  I like it as well. Nice representation of that GMC's van bulkyness.

[Milan]

Majkl, yeah, i mixed it up :)

[lcvisser]

Great, well done  I love that show 

[grum64]

You've captured the shape brilliantly. Great work.

Great looking van! Reminds me about Set 5581 Magic Flash from Model Team series. 

[offroadcreations]

You nailed all the curves and angles!  I love it!

[jgw]

Very good job! You got all the shapes very well, even without panels! I really like the front, B.A Baracus would be proud!

Perfect just perfect, my kids would have no clue what this is, but for me it brings back happy memories of a much enjoyed tv show. Well done

Actually, I was desperately trying to get panels into the model to get the weight down. I couldn't due to connection issues. Luckily it turned out OK with beams.

Amazing! This really brings back good childhood memories.  Any chance for instructions? I'd love to build one of these!

I should have instructions on rebrickable sometime in the future.

Strangely enough, I found myself humming the theme tune when building it 

[Kmuffin]

I agree with everyone. The way you got those curves without panels is pretty inpressive. Looks very clean and beautiful form any angle

Great A-Team van! Proportions are on the spot. Extra functions (doors) are also a good idea.

[Aleh]

Very nice van! I like the colour theme and the doors lock mechanism :)

[Lakop]

A work of art! You have used the parts to great effect.

"I Pity the Fool" who doesn't like this - great job and dead-on.  I also like the large number of motorized functions crammed into van.  But, are there 4 seats inside, I only see three in the images?

Thanks for the comments!

I could only fit 3 seats due to the sliding mechanism of the door.

What a great build! I like how compact it is! 

[skriblez]

Will have to build this! Great work :)

[deraven]

That is great!  Really nice work, especially with the integration of the sliding door... and the red stripe!  

[Rishab N]

Nice work especially in such a compact chassis

[Chade]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

Btw, what does the star in front of the topic heading mean? I thought it indicated that it was my topic when I signed in, but I've realised that's not the case.

[DugaldIC]

This is awesome,  looks great and with an awesome list of functions!  Mr T would be pleased haha

[Legorigs]

Looks great. Only thing is that there should be some dark gray in it.
