Creative Master Northcord Limited has proudly released another brand new non-ukbus series replica. It is JB1011, a Mitsubishi Fuso MP Non-Step CNG model carrying JR Hokkaido Bus colours. JR Hokkaido Bus operates the CNG low-floor buses in Sapporo City, Hokkaido.

CNG (compressed natural gas) citybuses are becoming a common scene in the major cities throughout Japan because CNG buses provide zero CO2 at the roadside. The CNG tanks are placed on the roof of the bus making them recognized easily if compared with traditional citybuses.

JB1011 features excellent detailing, inside and out, including an opening engine door and engine detail. Moreover, the detail on the CNG tank, which is mounted on the roof behind the air-conditioning unit, is to scale.

JB1011 models will be distributed by John Ayrey Die-Casts Limited (UK), Porte Publishing Company (Japan), Transit Graphics (Australia), cnmycar.com (P. R. China) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK) respectively and is limited to 2000 pieces worldwide.
