| The model -
news of this kit was received in December 2011, but it was released on 25th November 2011. It comes with a choice
of six route numbers/destinations but has no fleet or registration
numbers. No KMB decals are supplied but these are readily available from Depot Model.
The bus
- Kowloon Motor Bus ordered 30 short wheelbase
air-conditioned Dennis Dragons in 1993 and these were
delivered between August and December that same year. These featured
Duple Metsec's standard bodywork. Hong Kong legislation on vehicle axle
weights made it necessary for these short buses to be fitted with a
third axle. A further 115 examples (ADS31-ADS145) were delivered
between February and July 1996. A further batch of 40 (ADS146-ADS185)
were delivered between December 1996 and February 1997 and
the final batch (ADS186 - ADS235) were delivered between
January 1999 and July 1999.
