^^ lol, thanks.

I like buses too (got about 5 so far). This Scania Wright Solar (of Reading transport in the UK) is among my more recent purchases. It's got nicely detailed wheels, good proportion, and a nice livery.

Brand: Original Omnibus
Scale: 1:76

Appreciate it, pratham. I know Gift Centre is Bombay sells some buses including a 1:24 Sunstar double-decker (which costs about Rs.12,000), but not nearly enough as some of us would like.

Gift Centre does have some buses but no takers. Seen them lying in the store for almost 3-4 years now. The prices of the models is what makes the whole deal unattractive. Not to mention that the buses are those which a majority of the people have no idea about. A Volvo B7 or a Mercedes Benz Neoplan model could change all that.

groundforce, the bus looks cool in blue. Nice one

[thetoxicmind]

Nice collection!
Do post images of other buses (heavy vehicles) you might have.

Hey Channabasanna and toxicmind, thank you. I'll post more when I can.

True, I asked about the buses the last time I was there (about a month or so ago), with the full intention of buying atleast one, but the elderly gentleman behind the counter said that they were in a 'godown'. I guess they finally moved the non-selling items out of that tiny space.
Anyway, I bought the Scania from a hole-in-the-wall in Shanghai.

Off topic, rumour has it that there is a Minichamps store coming soon. Any idea about this, Winston?
