Features

The MiniArt 2-39001 1/35 B-Type Military Omnibus is a highly detailed plastic model kit that represents one of the most iconic early 20th-century military transport vehicles. Originally designed as a civilian double-decker bus by the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC), the B-Type was quickly adapted for military service during World War I, particularly by the British Army. This model captures the wartime-converted version, used extensively on the Western Front for transporting troops, medical personnel, and supplies.

MiniArt's kit meticulously recreates the unique features of the military B-Type omnibus, including the enclosed driver's cab, wooden troop benches on the upper deck, and reconfigured bodywork for durability and utility in field conditions. Unlike its civilian counterpart, the military version omitted advertising panels and civilian signage, and often had protective reinforcements or weather coverings added. The model captures all these subtle distinctions, allowing for historically accurate representation.

The kit is designed in 1/35 scale and includes a full interior, showcasing the crew compartment, seating, steering controls, and structural framework. Detailed plastic parts are supplemented with photo-etched components, enabling modelers to add fine detail to railings, steps, and fixtures. The wheels, suspension, and undercarriage are carefully molded to reflect early 20th-century engineering, and the distinctive double-deck layout makes the finished model visually striking.

MiniArt also provides a comprehensive set of decals and multiple marking options, enabling the modeler to choose from different historical units or theaters of operation. Like other MiniArt kits, this model comes unassembled and unpainted, and is intended for intermediate to advanced builders due to the complexity and level of detail. The B-Type Omnibus serves not only as a centerpiece for WWI dioramas but also as a tribute to the often-overlooked logistical backbone of the Great War.
