Greg Myers Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 nope, one can't go to London with out a ride on the big bus.
stump Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Now...that's got a kool factor of 10/10 in my book......
sjordan2 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 That's pretty awesome. Is there a version with open seating on the roof?
Dr. Cranky Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Ooh, that one is creaming out to be built in a diorama! Thanks for posting.
Tony T Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Cool...there's one near me that was converted into a chip vendor (french fries, poutine, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc)...doesn't indicate scale, but would be real cool if it was 1/24! Would go great with the London Taxi kit! Edited August 12, 2011 by Tony T
Greg Myers Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 That's pretty awesome. Is there a version with open seating on the roof? cut the roof off ?
Erik Smith Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) That's pretty awesome. Is there a version with open seating on the roof? Take a look at the test shots - one shows the bus with the top removed - not much work to make it an open seater. One of my fondest life memories - an evening cruise around Hong Kong in an open top double decker. This model looks pretty cool - full engine too! Edited August 13, 2011 by Coyotehybrids
george 53 Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 Yeah, it looks to be 1/24th scale! I wonder how much? B)
bigphoto Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Very Cool! But I was more interested in the 1/25 Porsche RS 3.0 coming in Sept.
niteowl7710 Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 If it's anything like that modern 1/25 bus they put out last year it'll run $85-100 over here since I doubt it will get a Revell USA re-box.
jbwelda Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 are you kinda thinking a street rod for that bus?
Junkman Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Cool...there's one near me that was converted into a chip vendor (french fries, poutine, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc)...doesn't indicate scale, but would be real cool if it was 1/24! Would go great with the London Taxi kit! The bus is 1:24. But not that IMAI Taxi, which is 1:20 scale despite it says different on the box. You just can't win. Edited August 22, 2011 by Junkman
Tony T Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 THAT just is simply not fair!! Too bad about the taxi scale... Would love to see a modern transit bus in 1/24...our city has 3 Alexander Dennis Enviro 500s, and recently ordered 75 more. Love the fact they did a 1/24 model of the older DD! Things are looking up!
Junkman Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 There was a design competiton for a new London Bus. You can see some of the entries here: http://www.dezeen.com/2008/12/19/a-new-bus-for-london-by-aston-martin-and-foster-partners/comment-page-1/?replytocom=219625
The Creative Explorer Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 The bus is 1:24. But not that IMAI Taxi, which is 1:20 scale despite it says different on the box. You just can't win. I doubt whether it is the old Imai taxi, looking at parts count, it might be new tooling.
Junkman Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I doubt whether it is the old Imai taxi, looking at parts count, it might be new tooling. One would have thought they'd at least change the box art then?
VW Dave Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 The bus is 1:24. But not that IMAI Taxi, which is 1:20 scale despite it says different on the box. You just can't win. If memory serves correctly, didn't Gunze-Sangyo(now 'Mr. Hobby') do a 1/24 London taxi a number of years back?
Junkman Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 If everything fails, you can compliment your London Bus with the Welly diecast FX4. It deffo is 1:24 and it is quite nice actually.
Chuck Most Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I've got something more along these lines in mind...
Danno Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Can't wait for that bus! Too bad the taxi is in the wrong scale! (Hope I don't get blasted for saying that!)
The Creative Explorer Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 The bus is 1:24. But not that IMAI Taxi, which is 1:20 scale despite it says different on the box. You just can't win. Yeah, that might be a good indicator for a repop haha
niteowl7710 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Alright well this one is 1:24... http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS00072 Edited August 29, 2011 by niteowl7710
Chuck Most Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Haven't seen the Aoshima London Taxi until now. I thought Airfix did a 1:24 Taxi that was fairly well detailed.
Sixx Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Hey Peggy...I mean Chuck!! LOL!!! I dig your Zombiebus, that would be a cool build, or scratch built! Sixx
