Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

1976 Flxible 35' Transit Bus - By Bev Fitzpatrick


Bev Fitzpatrick built this 1976 Flxible 35' transit coach in the colors of Valley Metro (Roanoke, Virginia). The mode is totally balsa wood construction with Dictaphone tape windows. The model features a full six piece front windshield as on real bus. Balsa filler was used to smooth out some of the grain in the wood. The model has Roco Minitank wheels as they were the only ones available when this was built years ago. Bev painted his model with Testors paint and it features spring suspension made with ball point pen springs.
