American Precision Models Flxible Clipper (Blue / White)Model # / Description...# 39013 / Flxible Clipper Plastic Model Bus Manufacturer / Country...American Precision Models (US) / Made in China Plastic Model Bus Dimensions and Scale...4 3/4" L x 1" H x 1" W / Close to HO scale Plastic Model Bus Description, Bus Collector Value ($US) and Notes...American Precision Models has made a number of nice little Flxible Clipper plastic HO scale buses since the mid 1990s. They have several diffferent liveries with this blue and white 1950s Flxible Clipper in a generic livery. It is slightly smaller than their GM old look buses so it's not exactly an HO scale bus, but very close. Bus photos posted by: ToyBusExpo.com Collector Comments
I have recently aquired one of these bus kits which is complete. I don't have the original package , however I do have the labeling and the kit is complete with all the parts. Whatelse besides what I have read in this article can you tell me about this item. Is American Precision Models still around. Thanks Steve D.

APM should still be around, but the link above seems to be temporarily down. Try the link in a few days as that was working up until recently and they were still selling many of their models. Besides the Flxible Clipper, they also produced a GM old look in several liveries including Public Service of NJ. They appear elsewhere here in ToyBusExpo.com. ToyBusExpo.com | Sep 21, 04 | 10:47 am
cable is out down here from "IVAN" looking for "Trailways Flxible Model" I saw on internet but can't remember who made it. I thought it was American Precision Models ?? Love buses and bus models. Great Webb Site. I should have bought the model when I had the chance to do it.

Where can I buy this and other model buses for a friend who drove flxibles and myself who drove GM 4905's ? I've been a bus nut since I was 8 years old. Thanks. OREN COOK | Oct 14, 04 | 7:22 pm
I am looking to buy a model of the Flxable Flyer .Prefer plastic kit. A.P.M has them but I cannot make the link, Can any one tell me where I can buy this model?

I like the Flex model and would buy it in a NewYork minute but it si too small. I would like to know if anyone makes the kit in 1/24 or 1/25 scale
Tom White | Nov 28, 05 | 3:21 pm
These where produced by APM which is since gone out of business. Steve D stevette66@yahoo.com Steve D | Nov 28, 05 | 3:50 pm
I realise now that there is nobody who makes models of the Flx Flyers any more this page shows alot of bus models but it is the craps because it dosn't tell you where you can order them from .Especilly here in Canada. eBay is a waste of time.Is there anyone who really knows where to buy these models?
Tom White | Nov 29, 05 | 5:08 pm

Just a quick note re the bus photo above, the model is a 1951 era Flxible Visicoach. The Clipper was a 1947 era model. The Clipper had seven passenger compartment windows whereas the Visicoach had three wide windows plus a small window. APM made both the Visicoach and the Clipper, the Clipper veery difficult to find.

Re.Flx flyer /Visicoach.I have driven both of these buses as Acadian Lines in Halifax use these buses since 1947 when the companey started.Later they went on to use the GMC 's and GMC buffilo style coaches until the 80's when they started using MCI coaches. I have a model of the visicoach. Check out my web page at.. http://spaces.msn.com/tommyart47 Tom | Mar 16, 06 | 4:35 am

Anyone interested in a APM viscoach unpainted kit. I have one for $50.00US or reasonable offer. These sell for about the price I'm asking up to $60-70.00. Very seldom do you get lucky and find them much lower. I'll post if sold. Peter | Aug 24, 07 | 11:36 am
Peter if you are still interested in selling it. Please contact me. Steve D stevette66@yahoo.com Steve D | Sep 05, 07 | 6:26 pm Tell Us What You Think About This Scale Model
