Anyone Into Buses?

[HotRodaSaurus]

Anyone into buses should take a look at this!

Based on the Citroen U55 truck chassis this bus ferried tourists around Paris in the 1950s and 60s.

I spotted it watching a French Film titled 'Zazie Dans le Metro', a great film for spotting european cars busses and trucks, also quite a few old 1950s American cars are featured as well.

With all that glass, could anyone visualise this as a scratch built project?

Jon, there's only 2 bus kits I know of, the old Scool Bus by Monogram an the new Revell of Germany one. THAT one I have, but it's a monster! If someone DID want ta build a bus they'd DEFINATELY be on their own! Pity too, cas some busses are neet lookin !

I was thinking more "strange looking critter" myself, but it seems that can be said for a lot of European-designed items of the 1950s-60s.

Somebody's making resin school buses in 1/25, I'll have to do some digging to see if I can find the link in my bookmarks because I can't remember who off hand.

Don't forget to check out HO Scale, there are plenty of buses available there.

Strangely enough I have the Revell coach in the stash too..

Something that I am working on slowly is a scratchbuilt 1:24 Italian Job coach.
