Whats In The Box? - Revell 06751 1/24th London Bus

As in my last blog post  I decided with all these fantastic kits arriving in I need to give you a better idea of what they are. It is very hard to  judge the quality of a kit from a generic picture off a website so In this section 'Whats In The Box' I will show what each kit contains. This is not a review of the kit as such just a look in the box!

So up for a look this week is the new 1/24 London Bus from Revell. I first saw this in Germany at the Toy Fair this time last year, it was one of the more impressive models on the revell stand, something a bit different for the usual Aircraft and Boats.

First Impression.....its BIG! the box is huge and weighs quite a bit. The finished model is 381 mm long and consists of nearly 400 parts so you will need to make some space before building this beast.

This kit is available on our website for €47.95 including free postage in Ireland.

Some of the decals for the many seats 

                                                               More of the very detailed Decals
The Decal sheet has some really detailed Decals to give the bus a perfect finish.

More detailed decals, seating plan and No Smoking signs

This is just to give you an idea of the quality of the moulding, it seems very good. 
                                                           Bit of Rod Stewart Anybody?
                                                                    Lots of seats but no time to rest.
                                                                 Some of the clear parts.

                                       What you get when you open the box, a lot of kit for the money.
                                      Everything laid out, most of the packs have 2 or 3 stencils in the pack
                             You get 6 rubber tyres with this kit, more thread than the tyres on my car!
