NEW BUSKITS have confirmed the current availability of their kits. In addition, Alan has announced that BUSKIT 2 and BUSKIT 7 are to be re-released to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of Salford City Transport. Each kit will include a set of specially commissioned Salford transfers and scale photocopies of the complete Salford destination/number blinds.

ALKIT is a new concept in bus modelling, building standardised die-cast, resin or white metal components into a scratchbuilt shell made from reinforced duplex aluminium sheet to produce the model bus that YOU want.

Each ALKIT is individually researched and hand-built - please email Alan for details of price, postage etc. The price of the model includes steering wheel and glazing appropriate to the model you asked for. The glazing is packed separately for those customers who prefer to spray paint their models.
