Hi Micha
Lovely job on the bus and great weathering. The pictures make the bus look a bit smaller, but I know this is a chunky kit with loads of interior.
Your rendition of this iconic bus is fantastic and reminds me of taking a Red Rover bus pass and jumping on and off at major landmarks around London.
Cracking finish

Excellent build! I've had my kit since christmas but I'm waiting in hope that someone comes up with different decals for the outside adverts...maybe a green and cream paint scheme to be different, though I'm most fond of the old red style.

I saw a buss like this at the GGG 2012 show yesterday, here in Sweden; and it was just Fabulous. _It is a really fantastic kit. The builder did an amazing job putting this one together.

An absolutely superb build! Nice touches on the painting and weathering. I like the diesel fuel spill out of the filler running down the side. Looks very realistic!!!
I still have hopes that the project will turn out good, I just need to remind myself the goal is to always enjoy the process, improve when and where I can, but understand that if I only accept perfection, I will be detracting from the reason I build to be

Great job on the build and paint and weathering wash.
I need to sell off a bunch of my stashed kits to get this one but it would be worth it.
Thanks for posting that in progress build link above
