The same chassis was used to build trucks :

Oh Yeah, there goes my "I'm gonna stop adding to the stash"! Again! Al

The Britsh version of a Battle Taxi?

More efficient than taxis. The bus could carry 24 combat equipped (full set of ammo) soldiers.

Knowing Miniart, the civilian passenger bus version can't be far behind so we can finally say goodbye to the ancient Airfix offering.
There are also other interesting variants such as the Carrier Pigeon loft and various trucks based on the same chassis.

Excellent news.
Good to see a British motor on the way and as stated earlier, civvy bus no doubt. Hopefully there will be a few cargo trucks and maybe some German, French and Italian trucks.

WW1 use information :

This one carrying Indian troops hasn't been fitted with planks (yet ?). Glass windows on the lower deck were prone to breakage, mostly from contact with the men's rifles and packs. The glass was therefore removed and replaced by planks nailed to the sides of the vehicle.

Miniart have published more images (3D-renders) on their website: https://miniart-models.com/products/39001-b-type-military-omnibus/

The kit will be possible to build with and without the plank covered sides with decals provide for one vehicle without planks and four with planks.

MiniArt is producing kits that modelers should want to build just because they are so outstanding and cool.
