Good model and easy to build - why no rear door?
When finished this is an impressive model of a very distinctive vehicle, but is let down by a couple of shortcomings. The fit of the pieces is excellent, as the real bus has lots of complex curves and fine details. It goes together well, but it is important to follow the instructions carefully. I was left with one part at the end that meant I had to practically dismantle the bus entirely, in order to fit it inside! A couple of minor complaints though. Some of the pieces do not hold together very strongly - especially the windscreen and the rest of the front end. The interior detail could be better, and the little studs on the seats are pointless. The rear door of the bus has not be been modelled, so it looks a bit unfinished. Overall - an eye-catching display piece.
