The model - in September 2023 B&B posted a photograph, on social media, of a prototype resin model of a Jonckheere Monaco bodied Volvo B12 coach asking visitors' views or comments on the model. In November 2023, the company posted photographs of a plain white completed example and later that same month issued an apology over its unlicensed releases stating it would not be releasing any further Citybus models, just two plain white examples. No further posts were made on the model. 
   
I believe ten Citybus liveried models were released in September 2024 along with the three plain white examples. This example represents the actual coach prior to entering service and carrying trade plates.

If you know of any other variants that I have not listed, do please e-mail me.  
     

The bus -  Citybus registered five Jonckheere Monaco bodied Volvo B12 coaches on 29th March 1996, allocating them the fleet numbers 2001-2005. They were originally destined for a Japanese operator, but the sale fell through and Volvo offered them to Citybus for a reduced price. They were used to operate cross-border services from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, Dongguan and Guangzhou.

Further information and photographs of the actual vehicles can be found in the
XTRA section of the site, just follow this link.
