"It finally happened"
jkell1105
Ok so I was very excited about the kit when I purchased it. I was very disappointed. The amount of excess plastic on pieces was absurd but that I could handle for the most part. I got the frame together and benches installed. Now here is a warning if you want to add figures to the kit. They can only fit in the front seats and the very rear seats so don't expect to put more than a couple inside the bus. Then it got crazy. The wall panels a couple were warped so they didn't join together well. One side ended up about 1/16 of an inch short so I had to use a shaved down spruce and putty to fill the gap. At this point frustrated but not discouraged. I got the walls and rear panels installed. I tried to install the front panel and it didn't fit and while trying to work on it the windows keep popping out. I also realized that the wall panels when installed as shown and in the proper place lean out too far to install the roof.........This is my first model I gave up and trashed. I saved the decals and several benches and a chair. Maybe I got a fluky bad kit but based on my experience I can't recommend it.

"1/35 Opel Blitz Model W39 Ludewig Bus"
smokencoffee
I love buses, I also build 1/35 WW2 German Vehicles. This kit had my attention from the first time I seen it. When you open the box there are 3 bags, your instructions, decals and a clear sheet of styrene with your windows marked out on it. There are also 2 bags of really nice parts molded in light gray and your rubber tires. The parts are very clean, no flash at all. The kit gives you decals for 3 versions of the bus, the grey version, Eastern Front seen on the box top. An Afrika Korps version, and an Ambulance version from the West Front. Overall this is a very nice looking kit, and it would make an interesting display parked next to the standard Opel Blitz truck of the German Army. Just a suggestion, if you get this kit, a set of Masterbox WWII German Infantry Sitting (6) -- 1/35 Scale -- #35137 would be a great addition for this model. Happy Model Building!
