LBC Hants & Dorset Bristol MW Almost Finished

Well, the Little Bus Company Hants & Dorset Bristol MW has taken another step towards completion. I filled the ragged edges on the driver's side headlight and touched up the paintwork there.

 

I have put the grille, Bristol 'wings' badge and fleetnames on, leaving just the registration numbers and destinations to add, plus painting in of the tail light clusters.

 

The photos show up a few ragged paint edges rather cruelly, but overall it doesn't look too bad. I will try to fix up the worst bits before I declare it "finished".

Hi, SRman. That really does look like the MW bus, with ECW bodywork. Well done, and am looking forward to seeing it when you get it finished.

 

All the best,

PS. It just seems a shame that the kit is no longer in production.

Thanks for the kind comment. 

Tony (LBC) does do reruns if there is sufficient demand. However the BT Models version may just kill off any interest in the kit, once they correct their models (as recorded elsewhere, the first two releases are a couple of millimetres too tall).

This one is actually the second of the LBC MWs I have built (not counting the entirely different 1960s MW Royal Blue coach). Tony very kindly substituted the bus seating unit in my kit as the kit was originally one of the dual purpose units.

 

Technically, my model is not quite accurate for the H & D vehicles as it should have a rear route destination box, even though most were blanked off in their later lives. I may add one at some stage using Milliput.
