Whilst not an
'oriental' model, I couldn't
resist taking the opportunity of being the 'first' to publish a picture
of ABC Model's Ailsa-Volvo, carrying A1 Service fleetname and livery.
This
is a specially commissioned model and it is a strictly limited
CERTIFICATED
edition of only 200 models. It is available from S. Cameron, 8 Allander
Drive, TORRANCE, Glasgow, G64 4LG at a price of £37.50, including
P&P.
ABC's Argos Bus Fleetline (001301) is now available in the UK. Can anyone confirm if Corgi's Citybus MAN with 'Year of the Snake' decals has been released here in the UK? 30th

Below is an extract of a letter recently received from ABC models:- "ABC Models wish to advise that as from the 1st of August 2001 the former Authorised agent for the United Kingdom and Europe, Mr Bram Osborne, has advised that he is no longer in a position to carry out his contractual obligations. ABC Models deeply regret the situation with regards to information and supply over the recent months and hope that any inconvenience caused in the past will be rapidly remedied and both information and supplies will once again return to normal. All ABC Models will once again be readily obtainable throughout the region from selected retail stockists pending the eventual appointment of a new representative for the region. ABC wishes to
thank all those many persons
that have supported ABC Models during this difficult period."
Due to be released in Hong Kong shortly is ABC's second version of the three door Super Metrobus (000821), some of which have already found their way to the UK. 19th

Photographs from the "2001 Exhibition of Hong Kong Bus History" are available here. Owing to
