There was a bus model in 1:35 scale, possibly aoshima? ... the title of the kit was S'Cool Bus. The wheels and tyres were totally out of scale but the bus body was good!

Actually you might find something in the model railroad sorts of things.  I have seen school buses in HO scale (1:87) and am fairly sure you might find something in larger scales as well, such as O.

Thanks for answering my query.  I have decided to go ahead and just scratch build the bus.  I have some items that will work I think.

Hi Will,

You might want to see if this bus could be converted to an old schoolbus.

Will;

I did a small search and found that Revell did make a 1/24 scale kit. One is available (body only) on eBay. I have found a few similar items myself at local flea markets. Hope this helps.

Cheers;

Gregory

I want to make a diorama using an old, beat up schoolbus, out in the woods.  I have everything I need except the bus.  Does anyone have any knowledge of school bus models??  I may have to scratch build it but would like a model if possible.

Thanks for any help or ideas.....

Will
