Model History[]

The Ford Panel Van is a casting that debuted for the 2000 mainline. The casting came in 3 variations, one with roof accessories, a light bar version, and a stock version. The casting itself has no interior due to the window assembly holding down the base. In 2007, side mirrors were added to the casting.

The casting returned for the 2017 mainline, retooled for easier assembly. The body and base were reworked and a light bar was added to the window assembly. The casting number was reverted back to the original MB444.
