I´m still missing a wheel from a B Type London Bus - if it will ever apear?

Today I finished a MB 300 SE in a new color named Champagne.
The model matches quite good with the MB 250 made by Siku - this one was once a Taxi.

Totally agree, both look great.

I had gone the other way with (darker) with the last 46 Merc and I'm now inspired to do some lighter colors on that model. My last redo of this model, I changed it to a graphite metallic with wire wheels. It looked good but I'm thinking the lighter colors enhance the casting and show more of the many details.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

If you get that concrete shoot perfected, I need 3 of them. maybe I could piggy back on your order.

I could sent you the file if you know somebody who can print it for you.
If not I will see how I can get some more parts and sent them over to you.

I´m not shure if you are aware of the Radio Rentals Commer van - the one for the staff who wheren`t able to climb ladders or handle antenna.
Just a simple delivery van for television sets and radios.

Very nice! Saves having to buy those fairly expensive reproduction parts and good fix for a broken skylight too.

I did this one about 15 years ago. The window insert was ruined so I made new windows with clear plastic. All the parts were missing (TVs, ladder, and antenna). I filled in the antenna hole and used a ladder from a Merryweather fire engine that had the tips broken off one end of the laddder. I had just started making my own decals and the fixative I was using caused the red ink to bleed on the decal.
