What Mike said ! Pin striping could come from decals out of the model car world. I have this kit and haven't started it hoping that Miniart or somebody else comes out with civilian seated riders.
Thanks for sharing the photos H-H !

Thanks for the pics H.H. even though I think this tram is more recent (if I may say so ) than the one released by Miniart. Just compare the pantograph on the roof to the kit one...but I guess interior pics would be helpful anyway !

Hi Gang, I found out that the tram is not identical with the Miniart kit. Maybe it`s an improved model with a modern day pantograph. But I guess we have to find proper refernces about these vehcles. The driver said that the uniform was also a replica, as close as possible to a real one. Modellers please take note that the doors of the tram were always open , even in winter since it was too awkward to open and close them by hand.
