That's an interesting looking vehicle, like an elongated version of a Tatra car with that fin and aerodynamic design. Will be interesting to see, if it builds equally streamlined.

Only one vehicle of this type of bus would have been used by the Whermacht. For transport of officers.
The original intention was to transport passengers between cities. The seats in the rows are angled at 45 degrees to give travelers a better view outside.

Well seen. The opel bus could well be related to Tatra.
But I do not think they where family 😉

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Blitz) it doesn't appear that they were related but perhaps, the German Army had a say in how they were designed????

I think these Tatras are designed befor this opel bus. and a time before the German invasion of Czechoslovakia. Their technical knowledge was highly regarded (Tatra : cars, trucks Skoda : tanks).

Maybe the opel bus is influenced by the Tatra design.

Time to think about the next Opelbus.

Box and content.

And, i almost forgot that I already had an Opel bus 😇. A model from the company Archer in resin. Judging by the numbering, it must have been built about 25 years ago.

This model was made of a single block of resin and 4 wheels.

This one gets a small update and becomes an amulance bus

Thanks for the comments.

In belgium  we have busses from the company Vanhool.

I did hear my father tell of an abandoned German truck (September 44) Once it was certain that the Germans were not coming back, the truck was quickly looted...
My mother told me about big planes flying overhead. And little planes that kept flying around the big ones...
And then empty casings (.50 ammo) fell from the sky
And retreating Germans (Sept. 44) closely followed by Polish soldiers.
And a few V1s fell nearby later in the war.

 

Back to the buses

The reworked ambulance is ready

Had some problems with the front axle of the omnibus. This has been replaced by one from the parts box.

This bus is equipped with an interior. That is why I came up with the idea of working with open doors.
Hopefully this idea will work

building the interior.

The standard version (with a new floor) of the command variant

20221225_112908.thumb.jpg.aa96af15af01e67b44e25b4deaa2f0fa.jpg

Added some extra's. 

The idea is building a vehicle at the beginning of the winter 42/43 eastern front.
The enterprising crew will not be cold this winter. And has improvised a makeshift stove from a drum

20221228_191632.thumb.jpg.2b54efb48f4d750baa0d3273bad9b5e9.jpg
