Revell 1/24th scale Platinum Edition AEC Routemaster London Bus
The Revell London Bus AEC Routemaster Platinum Edition in 1/24 scale from the plastic models range accurately recreates the real life British classic public transport vehicle.. This plastic model kit requires paint and glue to complete.
The AEC Routemaster was presented to the public for the first time in 1954. Compared with the previous bus types the Routemaster, with its integral chassis and bodywork design, was considered to be a real innovation. The double-decker, which was mass produced from 1958, was in particular characterised by the open boarding platform on the rear left allowing quick "hop on and off". At the end of the 1950s a change in regulations allowed in addition the operation of over thirty-foot long buses on only two axles.
The model kit is upgraded to the "Platinum Edition" with high quality photo etched and metal parts and allows for an exceptionally detailed model.
