Need help to find a schoolbus model

Modeling Subjects Dioramas
1

I want to make a diorama using an old, beat up schoolbus, out in the woods. I have everything I need except the bus. Does anyone have any knowledge of school bus models?? I may have to scratch build it but would like a model if possible.

Thanks for any help or ideas…

what era? either way your probably better off buying an already made model of a school bus, if you really want to scratch it , go ahead…but i dont know of any kits

Will;

I did a small search and found that Revell did make a 1/24 scale kit. One is available (body only) on eBay. I have found a few similar items myself at local flea markets. Hope this helps.

Cheers;

Hi Will,

You might want to see if this bus could be converted to an old schoolbus.

Thanks for answering my query. I have decided to go ahead and just scratch build the bus. I have some items that will work I think.

Actually you might find something in the model railroad sorts of things. I have seen school buses in HO scale (1:87) and am fairly sure you might find something in larger scales as well, such as O.

There was a bus model in 1:35 scale, possibly aoshima? … the title of the kit was S’Cool Bus. The wheels and tyres were totally out of scale but the bus body was good!
