Li'l Yeller
School Bus Plus!

•Original year: 1970
•Company: AMT
•Scale: 1/25
•Designer: John Bogosian

Here's the Li'l Yeller, the scholar hauler with a soul!

AMT's solution to heir pollution is crammed full of educational goodies!

Bored of education?

Our Teeny-Bobber Teacher's Pest goes to the head of its class with elementary items as "Think Tank" body design, "Brain Drain" Radiator, "Grad-U-Eight" mill with "Cum Louder" stereo exhaust, "Midnight Oil" pan, "Lunge Box" shifter--sheepskin upholstery--mind-bending vinyl tires (quad slicks out back and ground-grabbin' wide-tread weenies up front).

It all adds up to the kit most likely to succeed, so don't drop out-- close the generation gaps with Li'l Yeller!

Ride on!

This is my version.

While starting and after a few difficulties with the bodyparts, which fit together very poorly, it spent a few years in the box, also because missing parts blocked the assembly.

The mods: Front lowered, aluminum mesh in the cooler and in the interior floor, wired motor, windshield bracing made from 1mm chrome steel wire, a new shifter knob, the roof railing is homemade: four new aluminum holders and inox wire, modified rims from LEGO and some new selfmade Tires...

Hope, you like it.
