Volvo 9700 bus in 1/200

Hi, I'm in the process of building a coach, originally in 1/100, in a reduced scale at 1/200 for more fun. This model is downloadable from Download 1:100. Here are some build pics. I have trimmed out both doors so as to make it possible to see the interior and stairways for clearly. If you are interested, I'll let you know how I made the window panes later on.

Nice looking bus. I have been wanting one with a full interior, but have not seen one yet that was easily available.

I can't get there in Maxthon.
I get a "Cannot connect" error

I just downloaded a LOT of Buses from MiniModels last night.
Not sure if I need anymore!

After nine months of procrestination, I decided to do something about it and the bus is finally completed. Don't want to carry it forward to 2013 and here it is. Sorry to anyone who's following this thread and thank you for your patience.

Last July when I was in Canada, I joined a local tour using Great Canadian Coaches on Provst. Now I'd like to see a what-if on the Volve 9700 and thus this repaint in 1/200. If you like, you can resize it to 1/100, its original size by ZMK. The windows should be cut out when assembling to show the interior and seats.
