It's also missing the school lights/sticker on the rear - and interesting that they have represented the bus with retrofitted rectangular rear lights.

The Final product that they will send us might be a bit different with minor corrections.

If you look at the Previous mark III in the UTA livery that released back in august they added a yellow school crossing sign which on trux website it has emergency exit instead.

We will have to wait and see what we will be greeded with when it arrives in the mail.

Anyone pre-ordered their's yet by any chance?
Me myself would be pre-ordering two as i did with the previous UTA Mark III.

Will we see a photograph of your Trux PMC line up of 2x the Exploer incuded when you receive your TX20B mark III sydney buses.?


Must be the Best year so far with tons of Australian(NSW) buses coming out this year and next year would be even epic.

Also captain,Will you be picking up 2 of the same OZ bus by any chance or trux is the only models you buy two of the same model.

The only way we could keep these models coming is give the model makers some support and that way us gunzels could increse the buses in their model fleet like i my self enjoy having a bunch of Buses that are run by the same company instead of buying all types of models based on diffrent bus operators.

As for this trux there are some minor faults like the taillights for example is abit off from the Real thing but that wouldn't really affect me from buying it since it does look very alike and well made.
I will contiune to support these model makers for producing a load of sydney/new castle models and i cannot wait until next year when i will have a full fleet of 40+ buses.

I wonder if trux will make more in this production run compared to the last Sydney one, considering how sought after they became?

I think I want one too. Never liked the corp repaints of the round tops but I was exposed to them for such a long time and would now love a model of one!

Mine came in today in the post. Great detailing done by Top Gear. Only downside (in my opinion) is the missing flashing orange lights at the rear end.
