Spiny Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Looks like you're making good progress - I think this will look great once complete. Do you have access to Flickr or some other hosting site? As far as I'm aware (I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong) Google don't allow you to show the photos on fora such as this, which will probably lead to your bus not getting the attention it deserves.

St3v3g Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yes it has taken me a while but loving it.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I really enjoyed it and am planning another (you get a lot of plastic for your money don't you ) word of warning the only bad fitting part of the kit (I say bad I mean slightly out of align) is when you atattch the outer panels the part behind the cab on the drivers side has a slight gap or the bonnet won't fit right never found a way to get both to fit perfectly (I'm being very picky here as I was still happy with the final result) just a warning maybe for warned you may not get any problems.

St3v3g Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 @kpnuts thanks for the advice. Hopefully it will go together ok. Maybe starting it this weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v3g Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Finished 😊👍 https://flic.kr/p/2c2DqJ2 https://flic.kr/p/PEcPbe https://flic.kr/p/2dkQrw3 https://flic.kr/p/2dqiSGV Edited December 7, 2018 by St3v3g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v3g Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 finished. Previous posts pictures only displayed as a link. Enjoyed this but did have trouble with panels. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I like it, it's a good result you should be pleased with. I presume that by panels you mean the advertising boards on the side? If you have any Microsol (or other decal solvent) it should help that lay flat in no time. The only disappointing thing is that with 'Cream' Crackers on one side, you have Rod Stewart rather than Eric Clapton on the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v3g Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 I am happy with the results. Micro sol already on it was still drying. Hopefully over night drying will help. If not I will recover. Got to be a bit different to love the decal arrangement 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busnproplinerfan Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Yes it sure looks good, that's coming from a bus fan. I have this bus to but not built yet. It's nice you can paint the body in pieces, must make it easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v3g Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 @kpnuts thanks it was a great kit to do. @busnproplinerfan yes painting the panels separately was good. Saved masking up a lot of windows 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markrob Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Great finish St3v3g and an excellent build. Which paint did you use for the body panels. Looks like a good match to the original. I have one in my stash as well, and will build it one day, space allowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v3g Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Hi I used revell Aqua no.34 Italian red 36134. It is a great build to do did it over 4 months. Just took it slowly. @markrob Edited December 23, 2018 by St3v3g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
