© Kwan KY Well, it's taken 26 years, but I've finally managed to fill in some blanks on the site, thanks to Kwan KY!! This kit of a Kowloon Motor Bus Leyland Victory Mk2 was issued, I believe, back in 2000. It is based on the Leyland Victory models issued by Collector's Model at the time. Previously I was unable to confirm the vehicle's identity and was only aware of one route number/destination. Full details have now been added to the relevant page, which can be found here. 2nd August 2026 | ||||||
This month's 'header' photograph features Citybus Weymann bodied Daimler Fleetline D4 (CA8427). This was released by EFE back in 1998 and the model, whilst being fairly basic, has a special place in my collection, being a bus that I would see regularly operating in the Bournemouth area back in the 1960/70's. Full details of the model can be found here. 1st August 2026 | ||||||
