One of the best examples of this model I have ever seen, Bloody good job. Those enhancements make all the difference.

What can I say that the others have no already said. It's a work of art that belongs in a museum or art gallery.

The Airfix Bus and their Dennis Fire engine hold fond memories for me, when they both first came out I recall the adverts showing, what was then unbelievable detail like the fire extinguisher behind the driver and passengers in different poses.

Thank you for taking the time to show us all how its done, it's threads like your build thread that makes this forum such a pleasure to be part of, I look forward to see what ever your next project might be.

That is wonderful Ian and is one of the best examples of the kit I have seen built up. I'd also like to thank you for taking the time to provide another one of your excellent build threads. Top stuff 8-)

Absolutely incredible. Hard to tell it's a model from some of those shots.
