I was rummaging through a crate of beaters and thought I should do something with this bus. I am still looking for the first edition model with blackwalls, so while waiting I am making myself one, or at least kind of similar.![]() Mild nail polish remover for the flames and the chrome on the wheels and a touch of Sharpie at the front and rear. ![]() ![]() I did not want to retouch the body paint as it's a kind of metallic yellow and I don't think I could have found the same colour. Besides, a rough look seems perfect for this old school bus.

Pretty good clean up of that bus - flames definitely seemed out of place on this one. |

Thanks. Mind you, with the flames it could be like the school bus in Nightmare on Elm street. |

I love it!! I agree on the "rough" look. Sometimes the best customs are mildly modified, but with the original play-worn paint still on it. |

Reminds me of a Lamley group custom contest where the winner just did a wheels swap on an old HW porsche beater. Does anybody remember this one? So many peole were upset that he won. |
