Revell 1/24 Routmaster

This one has been done before but this one will be an out of the box build as it replaces my old one that is some years old and is looking a bit worn.

On opening the box there is no air space left and a lot of parts and a giant decel sheet.


Here are the pics the first is of my old one to give some idea of the size.


I have made a start on one of the rear end parts whitch has had a grey primer and two of red before i will do a top coat of gloss red brushed on

Hi Adrian I have done this kit last couple of years and it's a lot of plastic. A very detailed kit and I can't think I had any problems with the fit. I went with Revell paints ( Aqua ) and I think I went through 3/4 reds.


Will be watching
