The story behind the special model:
The MAN NG 272 of the KVB AG shaped the Cologne cityscape around the turn of the millennium like no other bus.
The "600" buses were popular with passengers and drivers alike.
We are pleased to be able to release this classic Cologne bus as a 1:87 scale model in three different versions.
A few details about the special model:
Of course, some details have been ordered again for our special model. This concerns additional turn signals, ventilation grids, warning lights, window openings and numerous pictograms as well as variant-specific requirements, because the former Cologne buses were seen with both the old and the new company logo and also had different appearances with the MAN Lion:
