Airfix Quickbuild New Routemaster

[moz]

Not seen this mentioned here. Released 3 days before Christmas so probably flew under most radars, seems like a fun little kit with no glue or paint required and positive reviews. You could probably have some fun with some self adhesive paper and a little photoshop to vary adverts and route details.

Yes, a fun kit to build, though I had some trouble with part of the roof not fitting - I eventually found this was caused by a side glazing piece not sitting perfectly (generally the clear parts are more structural on this kit with the bodywork fitting over them). Also if you never intend to disassemble the model, then it might be an idea to glue the sides of the front destination surround to the side bodywork - as can be seen below this part is sitting at a slight angle creating a large gap, which was also mentioned by at least one reviewer. While not to any particular scale (approximately it's 1:37) it's a good size to display by itself.

I had a similar thought regarding destinations and adverts. The front and side blinds sit directly between the glazing and a black plastic part, which ordinarily you'd apply the sticker to, but this means these can even be printed on normal paper. The tinted glazing does make the text appear somewhat faint in certain light however. Everything else will have to wait for now until I get around to purchasing some self-adhesive paper and decide on the adverts. There would of course also be the option to add further detail by painting various parts, though this isn't currently something I intend on doing.
