This cloudy looking coach has been drawn all-over by a previous owner, all the while having a blemished roof, muddy base and scuffed windows. It also had a broken tab where the base attached at the rear. I fix that little plastic issue and strip the mud and the paint and start afresh on this little model with an ambiguous background. I go into detail in the video, but the casting seems to have taken inspiration from two different Mercedes-Benz buses and coaches. You will see why there is some confusion!
