What do you mean the way is swings out? I wouldn't know anyway. I only have the original IC CE ones.

Look at both of the Boley diecast buses, one has the sign closed the wrong way, and one has the sign pointing the right way, so i guess they fixed it?

Yes I made the IC RE, its a poor attempt but I really wanted one. It is a decent fleet but an expensive one, I would say I have spent around $200.00 on that. Thanks for the comments.

Do you know how he got the white roof on it, and what he uses for the black around the warning lights? And how did he get the strobe light on it? It is so cool!

I couldn't tell you because I don't know. He's a member of these forums (BlueBird16). His e-mail address should be in his profile.

FYI. One can only hope! MotorMax bought out Zylmex, they still reproduce some of the Zylmex models under the MotorMax or Maisto name. I have queried them regarding the re-release of the P322 Crown coach. We will see what happens. I would even purchase that mold if it were available.

There is one on EBay at present. It looks to be a repaint, a not too good one and no decals.

Holy Sh*$! That bus is awesome! My attempts came out crappy compared to those. Jeff, tell us how you made the storage belly, where you got the lights, and the strobe lights.

I emailed him the same quesstion and her is what he emailed me back:

"The white top was sanded and blocked off and then painted glossy white with spray paint. The black around the warning lightsbare blocked off with black vinyl film and then painted inside the lines. The stop sign is just color copies made at Kinko's. they make those for me and put about 100 on a sheet so i have plenty of them. I then use the self adhesive laminating film to give the stop sign a shiny look. I used smal colored rhinestones for all of the lights. All of the lettering is made from www.myfonts.com. Highway Gothic series B."

Is that enough info for you First student guy???
