Re: Dinky.....
Interesting to see your almost mint bus seems to have red marker ink over the white painted centre doors - this model unscrews and it should be easy to remove the ink with white spirit

Re: Dinky.....
Nice additions, well done!
If you take the bus apart, be prepared to spend some time getting the doors repositioned right. The one I bought recently had the bell over tightened so it wasn't working, I took it apart to fix it. To get it back together, You need to put the back doors in first then partially tighten the middle screw to keep these in whilst you reposition the front doors, then tighten the front screw. good luck....it will look better with white doors.
