Two new models have appeared on what was the World of Diecast website, these being two China Motor Bus LS class Guy Arab Mk Vs. They are listed as 'AS Models', and are therefore assumed to be from AsianBus. The first features LS51 in red and cream livery with blue radiator grille, denoting the vehicle's low height. The second features LS56, this time in blue and cream livery, and with the revised headlight arrangement. Each model is limited to 504 pieces and it states that they will retail for HK$258. 26th

I am reliably informed that there is to be a second Tilling-Stevens model from Best Choose, again limited to 500 pieces. The main differences are that the livery is a brighter red than the first and it has 'China Motor Bus' on its sides. I am now on holiday for a week, returning on Saturday 12th August, so there will be no updates during this time. Please, however, continue to send me any news ready for an update upon my return! 3rd August
