sunray Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Here is my go at Airfix's 1/32 World War One B Type Bus "Old Bill". There are loads of photo's I am afraid so I am sorry if you get bored. The full build is on the forum and if you have any questions please let me know. Here is the build thread http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235001202-132-airfix-world-war-one-b-type-bus-old-bill/page-1 54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Absolutely sensational result from an ancient kit. I love the details and finish. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwinism Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Terrific work. This was a kit I always wanted to make as a kid - you've given me the inspiration to hunt one down and give it a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Superb finished project Ian,probably the best build of this kit we are likely to see! Airfix magazine should come knocking soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamS Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 For some reason I'm smiling while looking at those photos. Oh the nostalgia! Very nice one. Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomore Shelfspace Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 That's great (already commented on the build thread) - only little thing is, looks like it could do with some more dirt on the tyre treads. Frome what I've seen of solid tyres, they wore leaving a gritty surface. On the Western Font they would have looked very rough very quickly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunray Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks everyone for all the kind comments which are most appreciated as always and I think for an old kit it still brushes up quite well.

Rikstom Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I find this quite moving actually, an old worn, empty buss with that graffiti. Makes me think about the guys who wrote it.. Oh, well. Great work, congratz! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
