Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Central American International "Chicken Bus" - By Erik Block


Erik Block sent this photo of his "Chicken Bus". Old American school buses often get a new life in Latin America, especially in Guatemala; they often call them "Chicken Buses." They are all very brightly painted, often also with chrome, figures, and logos of football clubs and fashion clothes (Nike, Puma, etc.) The bus model is from Herpa and the old Edsel in the background, left is from Oxford Diecast who just started production in 1/87 scale.
