stunning... as a passenger, and having a friend who was a conductor and driver of this bus, you are spot on i can see you are seeking 100% detail your almost there, maybe of help to you, the uniforms at the time worn were NBC Blue colour, and the conductors at gravesend garage used setright ticket machines, gibsons were LT, this is only to help you, definatly not criticisum .. your paint is spot on these RML'S came through to erith covered in white chalk dust from swanscombe and greenhythe area and when it rained the lime dust from the cement works just eat through the paint work, so i think you have done a spot on job! Id buy one!

Just noticed this build, whilst looking through some of the older posts. First let me say, what a nice job has been done with this bus and different from the more usual red livery.


I have rather fancied having a go at one of these, but just can't make my mind up. I have had a look at this model, but reading some of the reviews, the instructions are written in Spanish o_O

Maybe is the question!


Or maybe this one, which is a lot cheaper.
