This Bedford OB Duple Vista Coach in Creamsicle colors, aerostyle trim, sunburst logo, and retro design looks like it came out of a Beatles' movie.  It'd be perfect for Magical Mystery Tour in the style of the Yellow Submarine. I'm always amazed at the craftsmanship displayed in a coach designed as simple mass transportation. Besides the beautifully upholstered seats, the cabinetry up front looks like something you'd display with pride in your living room. It's like the woodwork you's find in a Rolls.

quite simply a superb 1/24 scale model. I have the cream and navy "Royal Blue" version. Sunstar made this and the double decker and that was it. I was hoping they would produce a 1/24 series of old British buses, such as:

bus 3
bus2
bus5
bus6
bus4
bus1
