Nicely done. Especially like the road worn look of the bus.

Very nicely done and the colors & weathering on the bus look great. Is that the driver sitting on top taking a smoke break? Does the bus kit have any interior? Considering it's hot, humid 'Nam, a couple windows might have been left "open."

Thank you Guys
For information the bus have a poor interior (just a driver post and bus bench)nothing very nice but you can scratch the interior.....

The review kit here => http://uss-prizuttu.blogspot.fr/2015/10/isuzu-bxd-30-132-eme-de-chez-arii.html

Windows are in one piece all around the bus but you can replace them by a rodhoïde sheet.

The weathering was made with Tamiya pastel and diferent pigments.

those buses usually have their destinations marked on the side of the vehicle e.g. saigon to da nang. apart from that omission, I think you're work has been well executed

Nice work Philippe ! I had a similar project using the same kit but what put me off was the right-hand drive (and access doors...) of the Isuzu. I'm too lazy to convert it

that was the big buss. Usually only seen on Highway One. There was a smaller version, and we saw them daily. The bigger bus was about twice a week. With the smaller buss, you'll see people riding on the roof and hanging on for dear life! I've even seen cows and pigs inside them. (now there's a diorama)
