1101B SYPTE Daimler Fleetline details

These etches, supplied in 3 thou. stainless steel, are designed to re-detail the Cars Workshops 1:150 scale KMB Daimler Fleetline model. The prototype buses were ex-London Transport DMS buses sold to Kowloon Motor Bus around 1980.

One of the more obvious changes made were to the windows which were altered to a full-depth sliding type, rather than the smaller top sliding section originally fitted. Fortunately this detail is just printed on the windows, so can be removed and these etches put in their place. Door detail is also printed on, so we have provided etched doors (in two patterns so the later versions with 'Glider' doors can be modelled) to make it easier to repaint. South Yorkshire PTE also used the same bodywork as LT on some of their Daimler Fleetlines, the most obvious difference (apart from the livery!) being the lack of rear buttresses. We have also included on the etch the slightly different pattern of driver's window SYPTE fitted.
