The model
- this model appeared in Corgi's 'The Original Omnibus Company' July -
December 1997 catalogue. Again the model depicts a 12 metre vehicle
despite
having a scale length of 11 metres! KMB applied this unique handover
livery
to 25 of it's buses. The livery carried on the model differed slightly
from that carried on the actual vehicles, as Hong Kong's bureaucracy
insisted
that the lower-deck windows were not painted, in the interests of
safety.
The actual bus also carried a pink 'skirt'.
The bus
- 3AV22, a 12-metre Volvo Olympian, entered service with KMB on 15th
July
1994. The 3AV class totalled 338 vehicles, the last being delivered in
September 1997.
