Definitely a neat project Paul. That bus looks great and it's a shame you could decal it the way you wanted.

I like it, it came out nice. I want one of these myself to build, more as a motorcoach though. The only real thing i don't car for is the wheelcovers they have in the kit. I would rather have polished Alcoas all the way around, or black powdercoated wheels with chrome lugnut covers and center caps. But that is my personal choice, no reflection on your build. Like i said, i like it.

Like i said, i like it. Under the caps are a nice set of Euro Budd style wheels with great detail...I white glued the caps on shou;d I want the open wheels. Paul

Hi Paul
Neet build and love the interior work. Any chance of seeing more of the interior closer up to see what fittings you added? What did you make the kitchen fittings from? Looks great!
What like was the kit to build? Did it go together nicely or were there any hitches? I have asked the wife (I mean Mrs Claus) to arrange for one of these from our girls as my Xmas pressie. Hope she remembers!
look forward to seeing more of your interior and how it was put together.
All the best
Nige

Here is the link to the entire build in photos. the kit went together extemely easy...The wood floors are model ship planking, the side aneling is 1/64 inch Birch plywood for model Aircraft. the counter is scratched from .080 Plastic sheet with accessories from the AMT camper kit. The marble look is Semi Gloss Black acrylic,stippled with gray and white paint and sealed with 2 wet coats of Tamiya Clear smoke to blend it all together. Here is the link, there are also plans for a motor home interior from Neoplan in the link . Paul s79.photobucket.com/albums/j158/41chevy-photo/NEOPLAN%20BUS/?start=all
