Command Bus
Kit: Green Line T-Type Motor Coach /Kit #K306/ Scale 1/72, limited run, injection molded styrene plastic. Manufacturer: Keal Kraft model company, England A model kit from the 1980's and 1990's that appears to be out of production. Assembly was easy though the model will need considerable detailing to turn it into a good display model. It is such a rare subject I recommend buying any kits you find. Keal Kraft also sold several 1920 and 1930's era trucks, trolley's and steam rollers (all potentially used in military service). The model depicts a commercial bus of the 1930's, though in film I have seen buses like this in service with the British Army BEF in France, and captured by the Germans. I modeled my kit as a command bus, captured by the Germans (in Dunkirk) and used by a Divisional command in Russia, 1941. Due to Russia's bad roads and a lack of spare parts I doubt a bus like this would have lasted long. The interior is entirely scratchbuilt. Stephen Brezinski |
