Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

1940s Ford Transit Bus - By Mike Habersack


Mike Habersack says this is his first Jordan model and says that it was a pleasure to build. The pieces were molded well and the fit was reasonable. The color he was trying to achieve was a representation from memory of the old Baltimore Transit Company's THD-5105s that he used to ride to junior high school - they were the last remaining "old look" buses in use in Baltimore before they changed the overall color scheme in the early 1970s. Mike's passengers are 1/100th scale people that he purchased on eBay and fit the bus much better than the 1/87th people did! He numbered the bus for the one he took to school - the 44x Harford Road bus.
