Post by shovelyjoe »

Does anyone know where you can find Hills Bus (or West Bus) die-cast models?

Cheers.

Currently there are none available. There will be a westbus model available sometime within the next 1-2 years. http://www.transitgraphics.com.au/main.html and click on the Model ACTION bus.

This particular model could quite easily be sold as a blank canvas with a decal set to make either a Hillsbus or westbus variant.

I emailed Hillsbus/Westbus ages ago, but they still haven't replied me!
You can try emailing STA, those blokes are pretty nice and they can mail you a pack of their models.

Yeah I too had a good experience dealing with STA regarding models. When I missed out on the 75th Anniversary ones I just popped an email to them via the feedback page and mine came within 5 days.

Just sent them an email recently requesting a few models. Hope to hear from them soon.

On the topic regarding Hillbus cardboard models. I think kitkat scanned a copy of his somewhere but the link to it is dead. :(
