Saw this posted at PMMS. Nothing on the Roden site as of yet, but listed as a 2014 release is a new 1/35 scale Opel Blitz Omnibus. This is a very unique release and I expect other versions would follow in similar fashion to their 1/72 lineup. Also a new, Rolls Royce silver ghost.

Yeah, saw that this morning. Can't be worse that the Ironside multimedia (with some vacuform!) kit.

I wish they'd eventually release all the "streamlined" versions they do in 1/72.

Cheers,

Awe-some!! A tram in plastic and now a bus!! Whodathunkit.

I agree with Christophe, I hope they do the streamlined versions as well.

I think if this release sells well enough it will encourage them to do more, as they will already be half started with the frame and engine. What would really spruce it up would be some figures. I think I asked Roden for a 1/35 scale version of every 1/72 scale bus I reviewed. I am sure others did as well.

Some of the different VOMAG vehicles would also be welcome! Some US Army Staff Cars such as Chevrolets, Plymouths, Dodges and Fords would be nice... Also Patton's 1939 Cadillac and Ike's 1941 Packard...
