When a cowboy trades in old Bronco and his best dog for a passel of air-cooled German cars and an ill-mannered kitty-cat

Love your pics today John, and I especially like the Welly bus. In your opinion, is it true 1/24 scale?

thanks Pete.....as far as I can determine this model is as close to 1/24 as possible......spec sheets show the real T2 to have an overall length of 14`5"___________________the Welley model T2 comes in at 7.25 (L)
14x12

and here is the Welly `72 T2 No.22472 in a side by side with the (also) Welly `62 Microbus No. 2095
this all gets frustratingly confusing,so if I`ve missed a detail please let me know

You must be having a boring day to go to all that effort John. Guess it is hard to get much closer to 1/24 than that. It did pay slight homage to 1/25.

I have a boring LIFE David 
.........my search for a 1/24 VW Bus went on for what seemed like years......the FM version was always too expensive for my meager budget...... I was elated when I finally got the Welly T2........
.....a few years back I learned of the M2 Machines line and was able to add the fire truck VW bus.....and sometime later their Pan Am VW bus......this M2 line also comes in at an acceptable 7.25"
