The model - details of the release of this model were announced in early August and it was released, along with a second version (180108), on 14th August 2015. Neither carry KMB fleetnames and it is therefore assumed these are not licensed products. KMB decals are provided.

The bus - Kowloon Motor Bus received a total of 450 Daimler/Leyland Fleetlines between 1974 and 1979, all being 33 feet long. Bodywork was spread between MetSec, BACo and a few with KMB's own bodywork. D726  entered service on 16th April 1975 and was retired on 30 March 1990.
