Following the teaser in last month's news section "Do you remember me?", the Model Express Company has confirmed that it's first release will be in the form of Dennis Dominator SD3, a photograph of the actual vehicle being shown below. It is expected to be released in early September, on route 8 to Siu San Wan. Quantities are believed to be 2,228. (Now known to be 4,000) More details will follow, when known.
Released in Hong Kong yesterday were the two versions of ABC Model's three-axle MCW Metrobuses in CMB colours (000802). Now available in the UK is Collector's Model Leyland Victory (Model No. V109B) in Hollywood Plaza livery.
My next update will include some detailed photographs of the recent new releases, which owing to constraints in my time, I have not managed to upload. This next update is expected on Monday 21st August. 19th

Corgi models 44801 (CMB Victory Mk2) and 41908 (CMB blue/cream "Queen Mary") are now available in the UK. More news just received is that a 12m Metsec bodied Dennis Dragon with Citybus's Alexander style front will be released very soon. The first livery will carry all-over advertising for China Paint, being a promotional model for them. The packaging, I am reliably informed, will be a paint tin! The second version will be in Citybus livery with branding for route 118, which is expected to be released in mid September. There is also to be an ML in China Paint livery. 4th August
