Diecast Bus models

[BK63 YWP]

Looks brilliant, look forward to it joining 6126

Hope its not too late to give suggestions, but I'd love to see the final production model with the updated/new style blinds; especially considering if it's going to be a dual destination model. :)

Overall, it's looking quite the part. Likewise to @SL 16 YPN , I can't wait for this to join my collection!

I will make a proper page for them tonight, but here's a first look at the platinum. Some of the branding needs to be changed because it has been changed since they first photographed the bus, but any other comments welcome

I know it's been mentioned elsewhere but the model has black headlight surrounds

Art imitates life.  :P

*when 6759/60 were new* lol

Surely a problem that'll be rectified in production; when the preproduction photos of 6126 came out, the bumpers were in a darker shade of red than they were meant to be.

Bursting with excitement as we near closer to the release of Northcord's Platinum MMC, I've been doing some snooping to see if there's been any updates. Instead, while looking through the British Model Buses facebook page, I stumbled upon the 'Dream Bus Model'. I'm almost certain that they're based in Hong Kong, though I'm uncertain, and it hardly matters, does it?

Cutting to the chase, they produce one-off commissions - one of which includes 4879 in the Pride livery! Detail-wise (save for the headlight clusters) it looks impeccable, but judge for yourself:

My apologies. They were working in post preview, so I'm not sure what's happened there ???

Here are the links; these should hopefully work.

Sounds excellent! Glad to see some progress, if at all. :) Things sound like they're on track then, yes?

I can't see that happening mate, they can't even get their models out in time now.

If anyone's interested Rapido Models will be at the Warley Model Railway Exhibition at the NEC with their 1/76 scale model Birmingham City Transport Guy Arab VI plus news of the next release expected to be the WMPTE Fleetline, Wythalls 6311 was there today which is the one they used for the prototype drawings.
