Mention London, and most people will think of the Queen, Big Ben and double-decker buses. The most iconic double-decker bus of them all is the AEC Routemaster. Introduced in 1956, this British staple was developed in conjunction with London Transport, the bus' primary customer. Nearly 3,000 Routemasters were built before their official 2005 retirement, but a select few Routemasters remain in use on two London heritage routes. An updated version is anticipated to hit the streets in 2012.

買って1年経ちますが座席のデカールの多さに躊躇してまだ組み立てていません、またエッチングパーツなどが付いたスペシャル版もあるようなので、作りこみたい方はそちらを選ばれたほうが良いかと。 でかい！

I already have this model before but I love working on this bus. Take your time getting the paints for it. It’s worth it.

This a huge kit I am taking a lot more time with this than any other I have done for a while. There is a lot of painting to do so be patient and let stages dry. I find it better to paint several stages ahead so I can have some sessions just assembling. I have not completed it and am just starting the outside body but I have to say I am enjoying this one alot!!

Espectacular y además creo que el único modelo existente en el mercado de este autobús en esta escala. Aunque la calidad de Revell deja un poco que desear con el buen montaje de las piezas. He tenido que modificar unas cuantas para que encajaran donde debían, pero aparte de eso, por lo demás muy bien y viene muy bien de detalles. Las calcas incluso a pesar del tamaño se leen perfectamente

Good kit, but there are no painting instructions and no indication of where to find the correct colors.

Holy cow! I new 1/24 scale was big but this is the most impressive, inspiring, and largest box of model.Before reviewing this kit, I would like to state my reason for the 5 stars. Amazon still hasn't updated, and says my kit (this kit) is still in transit, but if it was, this review wouldn't exist. Shipping was swift, and packed well. this is the greatest, and most complicated kit I've attempted. Price was right, snagged it before the price increased.Outside the box: All model information, specs, and a mix of illustrations and actual model photos, as well as a summary of the vehicles history. All pannels are decorated in typical Revell of germany kits (but is not stated in the kits title), and the complete skill guide is on back.Inside the box: Although i have not torn into the bags of parts for this review, I am pleased at the packing of, and overall mold quality of the parts.You also get a 90 step instruction booklet, with a complete parts list (in picture format of part trees) with corresponding part numbers, paint list, and guide. Only down side of the kit (so minor ive over looked it in my overall rating), was the decals were not sealed in anything but the instruction booklet.Instructions are easy to follow, and with some time and elbow grease, should yield a showroom model.

This is not for me, but for my brothers birthday as he used to build them, but i know he will be absolutely thrilled with it, as I was in being able to purchase it as they are as scarce as Hens Teeth here in Australia.

When buying this I had been modelling for about 2 years and I was ready to tackle some larger projects. This is a VERY large project. the main factor was the interior which is well worth it as you can easily see it through the windows. The detail is very good with good quality plastic that fits together well, I would actually recommend spraying or airbrushing your chosen colour on as it gives a nice finish. As I said work out how much spare time you have before undertaking this project. things I would recommend are revell or humbrol clear fix to attach the many windows which do fog up. Also humbrol MASKOL or revell modelling tape is good if you put the windows in before painting but otherwise you can put them in after painting. A very good project, I can't talk about the money as it was £25 when I got it but it seems to have gone up when I write this. I highly recommend this for intermediate to experienced modellers which time on their hands.

Very good model of the old London Route Masters, a must for all bus collectors. Not a kit that can be rushed though must take time, and will need a good size space to work on it, other wise if one takes their time will have a great model of the RML Route Master London coach. If one was handy with plastic models one could cut one down to make an original Route Master RM coach, one would need to remove the middle small window.Maybe Revell can see it in their hearts to make at least the new sides so one can make either the original 27" 7 " RM Route Masters or the 30' RML which this model is.It leads it's self to many model kit bashes, open top etc, I am very happy with my model and do plan to buy another kit to shorten and make an RM route master model from it.

All thanks to Sunstar's 'prototype', no doubt, but I'm pleased to see this excellent kit. (A London trolleybus would have been far more exciting but I suppose we should be grateful for any form of LT bus!) A high level of skill will be required and I may end up paying someone to make it for me - we'll see. Detail is stunningly good and Revell are to be congratulated on such a bold move.

Ein wirklich gelungenes Modell eines "typischen Londoner Busses", das Revell rechtzeitig zur Olympiade London 2012 auf den Markt warf - allerdings als Souvenir ungeeignet, der Karton passt recht schlecht in das heute immer knappere Reisegepäck. Garantiert nicht für Einsteiger in den Plastikmodellbau geeignet, weist dies Modell eines Routemaster RML sehr viele Details auf und man baut das Fahrzeug wirklich mit allem Drum und Dran. Zwei Motoren stehen zur Auswahl, die Inneneinrichtung ist komplett vorhanden und sehr genau nachgebildet. Einzig der Abziehbildbogen trübt ein wenig den guten Gesamteindruck, denn Revell liefert hier Beschriftungen, die vielleicht ein auf den ersten Blick stimmiges, im Detail aber sehr verbesserungswürdiges Bild zeichnen. Dennoch - absolute Kaufempfehlung. Wenn man sich das Modell zutraut. Die nur drei Sterne bei der Haltbarkeit sollen übrigens nur anzeigen, dass dies kein Brumm-Brumm-Spielzeug ist und einen Platz in der Vitrine, nicht auf dem Spielteppich verdient. ;)
