Today I picked up a new kit from my pile.
I'll build this for a dutch modelling magazine.
It's the ''new'' Revell T1 Microbus with 23 windows.
It contains a lot of parts, but most of them are from the separated body. I don't like this at all, but after reading some other their work, the fittment is quite good, so nothing to worry about
I wanted some original colors, but most people use the red/white combo (which is also beautifull!!) but I wanted something else. Cause it is a Deluxe version, I also wanted some luxery painting. I came up with the red/brown combo. The orginal paint names are Dunkelbraun and Siegellackrot. I ordered them at Hiroboy and here they are:
And here some referencepics i'll use for this project.

I heard some people don't like the original wheels in this Revell kit, cause they should be to big. If you look at the real pics you can see that this bus is equiped with those ''big'' wheels. Maybe this was an option or something?
I'll start this project very soon. First thing to do is the engine which will be wired.
Kris.
