I'm getting sick of people thinking that all busses are splitties. No one makes decent diecasts or so much as a coloring page to aknowledge busses looked a little different between 68-79. I drew this up at work last night and although more or less a cartoony feel don't knock the innaccuracies.

Use it for free, ad the vw logo's at your own peril I didn't want to risk the VAG nazi's coming down on me for drawing a cartoon.

Oh yeah, those are p-rate tires on this mofo so be careful that your printer doesn't explode or burst into flames upon copying. Razz

after you save the pic use your photo editor and make it 200-300% of origional size It'll make it fit on 4 peices of paper. as it is this should take up one whole sheet. i'm off for a few days so I can do some more wednesday night (Too much going on in my free time to do this at home).

I went over the pencil lines a few times but still couldn't get them to scan worth a darn. You may have to retrace a little after printing, if I had steadier hands I'd have done them in ink.
