Included in the W^D version will be transfer sets. One will be 2 numbers for either side of the bonnet.The other unit signs with a choice of two,the 1st Company (the wheel and wings) the other the 2nd Company (the arrows).

That's stupendous. It has the edge on the Keilkraft.

What's the difference between the military and civvy versions - just the planks?

The bus is coming out as 2 kits,WDMT 6 the W^D version and WDMT11 the civilian type.

Apart from the planking there are other differences,the fenders for one.

Will put pic's of the W^D version when I have built it.

 So is this one the civilian version, then? And, it would do for the first few weeks of the war wouldn't it? Didn't Churchill send a relief column of these to Antwerp?

The buses sent to Antwerp were Daimler D-types commandeered from M.E.T., iirc, finished in blue and cream. V similar but some differences. About 70 vehicles sent, I think. Some were captured or abandoned during the retreat, as shewn below. Can't remember how many. B-types were used thereafter.
