Any one able to translate?

This looks like it could be a nice coach.

Would be interested to hear a review in English

I think it translates to Big and Expensive! Actually, this does look really interesting to have and build. There are many possiblites for this. From Rock Group tour buses to motorhomes to race support haulers, this has potential!

I don't speak the language, but using an on-line translator here is what it said:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Model: The neoplan city liner falls by his design of the frame. It is futuristic, harmonious and almost unmistakeable (one refrains of the Chinese copy). The viewer recognizes unmistakeable a neoplan coach. This owns a high comfort and innovative technology. Hence, he puts graduations for a new bus generation.

Kit: It was already a surprise in the press conference with Revell in November, 2007 as this project there was introduced. Up to now in the graduation 1:24 such a model has not been moved. Purpose is also to be won it simply new groups of buyers for the model construction.

The first impression of this model assembled from Testspritzlingen was very good. There will be an interior arrangement and an engine beside both doors to be opened. Here detailed freaks can let off steam. The glazing will get a color accordingly of the model.

As a painting option there is anyway the demonstration bus of neoplan.

Result: The shown one up to now allows to hope for a great kit.

It's funny, but I was just wondering when someone would notice the 1/24 scale bus, and what it's reaction would be.

It certainly does look impressive. Would be interesting to see if any decal makers come up with after market murals and markings for this thing.

If I may be so blunt to post another link to my site:








its from my toy fair reports (posted on aeroscale)

One of these with a scratchbuilt luggage trailer for the ski-ing season. Would be a nice combination. Wonder what it would take to get some lighting inside too.

Looking forward to seeing this turn up on here at the end of the year. If anyone is thinking of getting me a xmas pressy, now is the time to get the order in.

OK,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, was just a thought!!!!!!

Looks fantastic,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, what was it like to build and was that from a trial kit? Are they putting it out in the form you got it or are they making any mods and fixes??

Nige
