| The model
- This model was released in Hong Kong on Saturday 22nd March 2003.
Included
in the box is a diorama.
The bus
- KMB was the only customer for the Albion Victor VT23L and 100
examples
were received during 1963/64. The 41-seat bodywork was delivered as ckd
kits from Metal Sections. They featured two doorways, both of which
were
immediately behind each nearside wheelarch, and the tubular sliding
gates
were operated by the conductor.
AD7087 was first
registered in June 1964.
Folding doors replaced the sliding gates later in life, and several
vehicles
were rebodied by KMB in the late 1970's, although AD7087 was not one of
these. AD7087 was withdrawn in March 1983.
The model
features a sliding cab door and
gates although one noticeable omission from the model is the nearside
fog
light.
