Just to be correct, it was an AEC Regent RT, not a Routemaster.

And that is that. My bus is all finished. My hands are painful, my eyes are screw shaped, and I never want to see another piece of red anything for a long time lol. Overall, a fantastic model, very enjoyable to build (even though a few moments caused anguish and swearing) and I’m very pleased I went ahead and did it. Display case arriving soon so it will be protected. One change I will do if there is a next time, clean all the window interiors before they are unreachable lol. And now to carry on with my 1/200 Trumpeter Titanic. Peace out everyone ✌️

I’ve only got the 3 screws on the near side piece I’m so far. The parts just won’t budge. Close to getting a rubber mallet at this stage. Or just never looking at the bus from the rear end lol.

Anyone else had this issue with the back roof? How did you solve it?

I like how their description specifically states it fits a 1/12 Routemaster lol

I haven’t decided about the outside ones yet.

I’m not using the interior stickers. If anyone wants them, happy to pop them in an envelope for you.

Been a little while since I’ve posted to this thread. Just finished packs 9 & 10.

A nice wee touch in the correct pack 9 just delivered.

Haha yeah im Not gonna complain about that for sure!

GiddyKippa also recommended this one to me. https://www.hiroboy.com/London_Routemaster_Bus_Red_Paint_60ml--product--4644.html

Awesome thanks Taffy. Did the screw holes still line up correctly? On mine it only seems to be the top that doesn’t fit properly.

Oh awesome thanks for that. Will have to get some. Touch up screws and things etc that screwdrivers have taken colour off as well as modded parts.

The correct Pack 9 is now on its way. Get back on track and in order lol

Yeah does seem to be. I’d be happy to sand the sides but then there’s the problem of paint matching and possibly messing up screw holes matching up etc.
