Hong Kong Bus Operators ... KMB  'Vintage' liveried buses - November/December 2011

At the end of November 2011, Kowloon Motor Bus short Duple Metsec bodied Dennis Trident fleet no. ATS38 appeared in a vintage livery, sponsored by 80M Bus Model Shop. At the same time, 80M confirmed the imminent release of a model depicting this livery. With certain small batches of vehicles, the opportunity for subsequent model releases after the initial release is somewhat limited. Clearly with the application of a 'vintage' livery, a new model release opportunity is opened up.

Dennis Trident ATS38 was the first bus to appear in 'vintage' livery. It is seen here at Star Ferry Bus Terminus on 2nd December (left) and departing the same location on 1st December (right).

The next bus to be so decorated was Scania K230UB/Caetano fleet no, ASB13, which was first spotted on 16th December 2011. It is seen here the following day - thanks to Grant Ng Kwok Kuen.
