„FIAT-621L“ – the Polish bus

FIAT-621 trucks were produced at the Turin plant and had a good reputation among users. The developing Polish motorization industry demanded new models and technologies, so a license agreement was signed and production of these trucks began in Poland in 1935 - initially only assembled from parts made in Italy, and from 1939 only 10% of the parts were not of local production. In total, about 13 thousand were produced in 1935-1939. Chassis, on which bus and other purpose bodies were mounted. Buses were mostly produced with 22 seats and due to the low price and state support, they were willingly bought by the transport companies of all Polish voivodeships. These buses also operated in Vilnius, and after the defeat of Poland and the return of Vilnius and its region to Lithuania, a number of buses of this brand remained in Lithuania. Ten units of Polish Army buses were interned during the events of September 1939. And they were definitely used for Lithuanian purposes, and reworking this model into a "Lithuanian" one, I think, will be quite easy - only the number plates, the route table and the inscriptions "Komunikacja Miejska" were painted over.

The model is well designed, well detailed, but... uncomplicated. Although there is a full interior and engine compartment equipment, a well-restored chassis and transmission, even a "full" version, working under the supervision of a more experienced colleague, a modeler with little experience will get along perfectly, and beginners are advised not to do interior equipment, engine detailing, simplify the chassis and transmission and make windows opaque.
