It will be the first model designed to be assembled with duct tape.

Thank you Glenn...at least someone can spell it correctly!
Duct not Duck *I'm aware of Duck brand Duct tape, and the original American 'duck' tape name theories (even though cloth reinforced tape already existed). And...its Murdoch (not Murdock)...lol you seem to be stuck on that spelling! yuck haha yeah, I've watched that series since its beginnings. I like it. But I have to say, the first few years were the best, before they started with the silly episodes that involved Aliens, Computers, the Internet, Witches, Rockets into Space, and so on. Keeping in mind, this show is set from 1895-1905. I prefer the episodes that center on crimes and Police work.

Truth be told, the show was silly from episode one. For us it's always been the William-Julia chemistry and some of the other recurring characters. Binging 14 seasons of that show did help get me through a very rough patch health-wise, earlier this year. I'm much better now though I would love to see season 15.

This idea and Koolwheelz subject came up 2 or 3 years ago, and I actually designed and completed this model last summer (2021). I've been holding off publishing, hoping to hear back from Steve Smith(Red Green) or the Red Green Show people. If you're Canadian, then you should already know and love the Red Green Show. Actor Steve Smith is a Canadian icon, and Red Green is his most beloved creation. He says that Red (the character) was written by him, for him, and mostly reflects him. Thanks to the Internet, fans around the World can now see Red Green shows and clips. And most fans will probably recognize the Possum-Van. One of Red's own vehicles that has been used, abused and thoroughly modified to ridiculous perfection. Its held together with duct tape and love, and has featured in many episodes of the Red Green Show. It appears there were at least two Dodge Vans used in show, both were mid-Eighties long body Dodge Ram Vans. They are distinuguished by the earlier (1986 model?) round front Headlamps and the later (1987 model?) with rectangular Headlamps and different Grille. The vans appear to be originally white painted (verified by open door and interior photos) and repainted mostly blue, gray and black resembling a large Opossum animal. The "possum" paint scheme on the later model Van is painted with a slightly darker gray paint, while the earlier model seems to be a lighter gray colour. The earlier "possum" paint also seems to be a lot more patchy and thinner paint application. There is an episode where Red introduces the second Possum Van, and retires the original ...turning it into an actual 'Air Boat'. Both vans appear to have the original factory steel wheel rims, painted white, with no hubcaps or trim. Tires are mostly blackwall...whitewall tires appear randomly on the van in different postions. Both vans usually carry the same Ontario (yellow Commercial) "POSSUM 1" License plate, presumably just transferred for the show, but "fake" POSSUM plates are also seen in some episodes. I tried to contact Red Green (Steve Smith) but have never received an email reply. I also tried contacting through the Red Green facebook page and website, but again, no responses. My goal was just to show off the model and confirm that it was okay to use their logo to promote the Possum Lodge website. You can join the Possum Lodge and get some rewards...the info is on the model sheet. I recommend glue...but you can use duct tape to assemble the model...if you have to...I guess. Find it in the Koolwheelz - Star Carz section.
