This model has now been released by Corgi. Be aware there are two destinations available on this model. One has A1 Service, the other Ardrossan. I haven't got mine as yet, but will let you know what I think of them when I have.

Welcome to the group, and many thanks for joining.
As with a lot of these groups, you will find that for the large part, it will lie dormant. Please do not be put off by this. If there is anything the group can help you out with, please post your message. Remember, there is a wealth of talent in the group.
If you do your own code 3 models, 'Sanc Decals' is a good source of material. They can be found in the www.fifescottish.com website under the 'classified' section.
I will look at your site later on.

There's some great forthcoming Scottish mmodels that I am looking forward to, the Eastern Scottish Lodekka from EFE and the Glasgow DD42 and A1 RTW from OOC. I'm hoping there'll be more Lowlanders from Britbus too.

Anyone know where I can get a back window glasing for this bus. I hope to win it. Tt's a code 3 and must have originally been a first bus as their logo is on the back window, so i wish to replace this or is ther a fix for this. The destination screen should be 69 Portobello, so I wish to replace this also. Thanks

I act as unpaid consultant to EFE re SMT/SOL/Eastern Scottish buses.
There are a number of models in the pipeline, the next of which is to
be Baxters B161. Thererafter, order and timing not known, there is
indeed to be a Lothian Green FLF - probably an English one with T
style destination indicator - with hopefully the same bus produced in
Brighton & Hove livery. Others planned are an Eastern National 1 in
original livery, a Lowlnd National, a Lowland VRT3, possibly the
Lowland Titan, a Lowland Y type, Starks ZH529S. EFE have agreed in
principal to these, as sales of the Renown and other SOL buses have
been good. Does anybodt know the unladen weight of any of the above?

EFE will be issuing their model of AEC Renown 9963 SF I think in
SOLlight green and cream with =Scottish= fleetnames towards the end of
next month. Re previous postings, EFE will apply their own legal
lettering etc. and it might be worth a try to see if they would do it
for buses that they do not make - i.e. the amateur model market. It
could be lucrative for them! Worth a try.
I myself used the Ford Laurel Green and Panama Beige, on a lodekka respray but I thought the green looked a wee bit too dark (I used grey primer). It was the first and only respray into SMT colours I have done to date so I cannot offer any alternative.
On the subject of transfers, you can get the 'emergency exit', 'fuel oil', etc from MODELMASTER DECALS, but they do not supply company addresses (legal lettering) transfers that you are after. I know that Mark did a lot of the transfers himself.
At one time, I was going to commission a run of complete sets of transfers for the Scottish Bus Groups with everything included on the sheets, but the cost was too high for me to do on my own.
Try asking the other group members if anyone can do some transfers for you.
Walter.

Although I have been collecting models of Scottish buses for many years I am now about to embark on painting some models into Scottish Bus group colours. I amt at present trying to get the best match for Eastern Scottish. I note that Mark Budd recommends Halford Ford Laurel Green and Panam Beige. Has anyone else got any recommendations. Also any suggestions as to where I can get transfers for company addresses, fuel oil, emergency exit etc.
Thanks
