Colin, my 'job' ends here, at this stage when the various parts that will make up the kit are done. Next, the pattern is sent to the customer who will organise the making of the molds and the casting. The kit normaly get released within a few months, in this case probably in September in time for the EuroMilitaire show.
This was indeed a hard one to do, because of the curves all over. The client originaly wanted the main body in various flat panels (sides, front, back, top and floor/chassis) but that got me nowhere in this case, because I just could not get the parts to line up properly and get decent joints. This kit should have been white metal. We changed the plans and switched to resin so that I could get this body in two main shells instead.
Thankfully, I had excellent drawings, plus numerous pictures of the bus.
