Routemaster slight modifications

[Julian]

Love this routemaster build looking forward to completing it. My friend completed it a few months ago I was very impressed but there are a few thing I'm not happy about. I have been driving buses in London for 30 years now and I have had the privilege of driving the RM many years ago but as a perfectionist I have made a few minor adjustments. The first thing I was disappointed with was the click plates on the steps  the screws are so big (see pics) it really let the build down. So what I did was I glued the kick plates to each step and covered the screw holes with tiny pins. Also the wheels looked unrealistic with the red paint RM wheels were mostly burgundy in colour (see picture of RM 857) so I sprayed them I think it mad a big difference  Also the RM rarely had the hub caps on the back wheels it was the RT which had covered wheels. I'm also thing of spraying the platform brown to make it look more realistic but I don't want to customise it to much. Love to hear your views
