KMB will release the "Year of the Horse" bus after the Lunar New Year (12-14 February). It is confirmed that Citybus will use the Duple Metsec 2301 bus for the "Year of the Horse" bus model. KMB are also to introduce another bus model in late January, to compensate for the delay in the launch of the "Year of the Horse" bus. An unconfirmed report has stated that this
KMB model is one of their 11m non-A/C Volvo Olympians (i.e. The S3V-class).
It is expected that the casting from Buses Model Co. will be used. A photo
showing a newly assembled S3V-class Olympian is below, HOWEVER,
another unconfirmed report states that the model will be a Daimler "A"
from Car's Workshop - Watch this space!!!!!.

Pictured above is an interesting release, limited to only 300 pieces, and commissioned by China Paint. It is a Volvo Super Olympian in Citybus livery, with China Paint "rear-end" advertising. It is certainly a mystifying choice of vehicles as Citybus don't have any Super Olympians. The model carries fleet number 410, making it out to be a "normal" Volvo Olympian. It is on route 72A to Wong Chuk Hang. It is believed that it is a Drumwell model. Further photos can be found here 5th January
