Real barndoors have 8 engine vents while later buses have more. I have yet to see a Barnnabe where they have taken the time to work out this detail. |

i figured it would be a real barndoor and not a fake considering it looks so all original!
did that finally make them figure out that there was a way to have some sort of rear hatch instead of a humungous engine lid? |
