    Hi, Kevin. I am in the thick of constructing a 1/24 Routemaster with some scratch mods and lighting. Would have been interested to see your pics and how you approached some of the inevitable challenges. It is a level 5 kit out of the box, after all, and trying to improve it with lights, a reworked front chassis and a sliding door which opens for a driver gave me few headaches.

    I, too had problems putting photos on this site, but I wonder if you can now?

    Kind  regards Martyn.

      Hi Martyn

      Sorry about the pictures but Flickr have been taken over and changed all of their sign in details and I cannot now access my pics. I am in the process of uploading them to a new Flickr account and this kit was the first one I did. The links to both albums can be found below (the second one is how I built the bus).
      I have built the kit twice now, once out of the box and the second with the lighting, but I am seriously considering getting another one as I have new idea's and ways to do the lighting better. 
      I will say that it is one of Revell's best kits as it fits together so well and there are so many possible modding opportunities for it and I know some of it was hard work and very fiddly but the end result is worth it but I'm glad to hear that you are pushing the boundaries to add more realism and hope to see the pics posted. Good luck with your build

      Hey, thanks for the links, which work perfectly. Your bus sets a very high standard, but I have reached the stage when most of the lights are working and powered through a mini jack and adapter via the battery compartment. No brake light or indicators yet, and only a driver - no passengers!

      I'll post picture links later.

      Kind regards, Martyn.
