On the offchance anyone is interested in such things...I've just happened to stumble across the fact that Revell now offer a 1/24th scale model kit of a Neoplan Cityliner. Trucks model kits are very popular (there are magazines devoted to just that genre), but I've never seen a bus offered as a kit in this scale before.

The finished model is over half a metre long.

Here's one built as a motorhome with full interior:

And another one, this time with a custom-built matching trailer:

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

Have you seen a model of a GM PD 4106 by any chance. I wouldn't mind one of those.

Just about every bus ever made seems to be available in 1/72 or 1/48 diecast form - it was the large scale and kit format of the Revell Cityliner which was unusual.

Building models of various sorts was a hobby I was into 20 years ago, and now I sell the magazines. Maybe in another 20 years I'll be retired and will have time to build the models again; until then I have a 1:1 scale kit of bus parts which needs assembling.
