SVARZ TBES-VSKhV – the USSR trolleybus

SVARZ TBES-VSKhV were Soviet two-axle, two-door trolleybuses, manufactured by the Moscow Sokolniki Carriage Repair and Construction Plant. They were designed as excursion trolleybuses for the VSKhV - VDNKh exhibition line "B" (although they were later used on other lines) and as regular ones. The abbreviation TBES-VSKhV stands for "All-Union Agricultural Exhibition Excursion Trolleybus in Sokolniki". Compared to the then standard trolleybus MTB-82, these trolleybuses were distinguished by a bright, modern design and a more comfortable and brighter interior due to large windows and curved glass windows in the roof slopes, which is why they were nicknamed "glass trolleybuses", they were equipped with two double-leaf passenger cabin doors. However, these features also led to the main disadvantages of these trolleybuses, including a fragile structure, roof leaks and other problems. These trolleybuses were produced in 1955-1957 and only 18 units were produced in total. They were used until 1971.

A rather large and rather complex, well-designed and very richly detailed model for only medium-experienced and experienced modelers. Even without interior equipment, it will be too complicated for modelers with little experience due to its complex rounded shapes. The textual instructions are large and detailed, in Polish and Russian, the graphic instructions are super large and super detailed. There are reserves of colors and textures.
