Press Release 29th
January 2003 - Creative Master Northcord Limited has proudly released
its first livery on the replica Mitsubishi FUSO Aerobus Coach model in
1982 Aerobus demonstration colours.
The Aerobus was introduced in 1982 and has
been the most successful deluxe coach in Japan since then. The Aerobus
features front independent suspension and created history in the Japanese
coach making industry. The bodywork of the Aerobus is designed and assembled
by Mitsubishi FUSO and it has a CD of 0.592 which is a result of significant
aerodynamic performance.
The replica features excellent detailing,
inside and out, including an opening engine door and engine detail. This
is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the windows and livery
application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. The model
has no ugly metal poles to hold it together.
The Mitsubishi FUSO Aerobus coach is the
eighth 1/76 scale diecast bus or coach from Creative Master Northcord since
2000.
This model is limited to 500 pieces for the
UK and Hong Kong. They will be distributed by John Ayrey Die-Casts Limited
(UK) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK) respectively.
