The A-Team Van Diecast: GreenLight Standard vs. Weathered Models

Choose the standard GreenLight A-Team van for a clean television-vehicle display, or the weathered version when you prefer the deliberately worn, bullet-hole finish. Both models compared here represent the 1983 GMC Vandura in 1:18 scale. The practical choice is the finish you want to look at—not an assumption that one is a larger, newer or more valuable edition.

This guide compares GreenLight item 13521, the standard van, with item 13567, the weathered version. We also cover smaller alternatives for collectors whose shelves cannot comfortably accommodate a large van.

Standard vs. weathered: the differences that matter

The measurements above are the approximate length, width and height supplied in the respective product listings, not our own measurements. The small difference in listed length should not be treated as proof of different tooling. For a tight display case, confirm usable interior clearance rather than ordering a case exactly to these figures.

Why choose the standard A-Team van?

The GreenLight 13521 standard A-Team van is our suggested starting point for someone who wants a straightforward representation without deliberate weathering. It works as a single television collectible or as part of a shelf organized around recognizable screen vehicles.

A clean-finish model is also a sensible gift choice when you know the recipient likes The A-Team but do not know whether they enjoy distressed finishes. That is a preference-based recommendation, not a statement that the standard release is more accurate or collectible in every respect.

Its opening side and front doors offer display choices. Leave extra room on the side where you intend to open a door; the closed-body footprint alone does not describe the space needed for that arrangement.

Why choose the weathered A-Team van?

The GreenLight 13567 weathered van suits a collector who prefers a more dramatic, used-looking presentation. The weathering and bullet-hole details are part of the described product version; they are not a description of a secondhand model’s condition. Our listing identifies the model as new.

Choose it because that appearance fits your collection. We would not buy it on an unsupported claim that weathering makes it rarer, a chase vehicle or an investment. None of those conclusions follows from the finish name alone.

Need a smaller A-Team van?

The 1:24 GreenLight A-Team van, item 84072, is listed at approximately 7 × 3 × 3 inches and includes opening doors. It is an alternative when a 1:18 van would dominate the available space.

The 1:43 A-Team van, item 86515, is listed with a plastic showcase and approximate model dimensions of 4.5 inches long, 2.25 inches wide and 1.5 inches high. Do not use the model dimensions as the outside dimensions of the showcase; those are different measurements.

Compare the scale label, item number and photographs together. A lower-priced listing may be a smaller model rather than a discounted version of the same 1:18 release. Our GreenLight scale guide explains that distinction in more detail.

Before you place the order

Decide whether you will display the van boxed or loose, measure the shelf or cabinet, and check the current product page for price and availability. For a gift, verify that the recipient does not already own the same item number. Owning another A-Team van does not necessarily mean they own this finish or this scale.

A-Team van buying questions

Is the weathered van a used model?

No. The linked listing identifies it as new. “Weathered” describes its intentional finish; inspect the listing photographs to decide whether that is the look you want.

Do both 1:18 vans have opening doors?

Both linked product descriptions list opening side and front doors. Do not assume the smaller-scale versions have identical features.

Which should I buy first?

Start with 13521 for a clean display, 13567 for the weathered appearance, or a smaller scale when space is the deciding factor. The better purchase is the version that fits your actual display and interests.
