Checkmate Models
 
I believe the majority of these models were marketed by Collectors' Club Limited, who were based in Hong Kong.

The Flxible single-deck buses and Jinling double-deck models appear to have been released in late 1998 and 1999 and mainly carry all-over advertising.
Several appear to have been commissioned by a company called Top Results, which I assume to be an advertising company.

   

If you are able to provide me with information that will fill in any of the gaps, please e-mail me
