Shane Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hi allMy 3rd post - the old Airfix B-type bus with a scratchbuilt conversion to pigeon loft. Thanks for looking, C&C welcome This is really nice and until a couple of years ago I'd never heard of such a thing. But then, as they always say "You wait for ages for a bus, and then two come at once" http://www.wwi-models.org/Images/Rychlewsk...gbus/index.html It's very interesting to note the differences and similarities inside, considering that both modellers have had to imagineer the layout Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
