Make sure you don't miss this bus, a new braille bus coming from Roden.
Roden has informed Armorama of their latest product, the "Stassenzepp Essen", a bus from Opel Blitz in 1/72 scale.
From Roden:
"The Opel Blitz 'Strassenzepp Essen' was a German bus of the mid 1930's. It was built by the truck body workshop of Ludewig Brothers on the chassis of the well-known Opel Blitz 3 ton truck. The bus had an unusually futuristic exterior for that time, and was extensively used in promotional activities to demonstrate the progress of Germany's motor industry. The overall production of this type was limited. However, completed vehicles were used not only for propaganda but also for transportation of excursions around cities, of foreign guests during the 1936 Olympics, and so on. Some of the 'Strassenzepp Essen' buses were later passed on to Luftwaffe military departments for crew transport."

Armorama would like to thank Olga from Roden for the information on this great looking release.
