Happy New Year everyone!

New year, new subjects (British buses in Manila). same theme - just uploaded 4 recolors for 1:72 Philippine vehicles.

1) Leyland Atlantean AN68/2L double decker transit bus in MMTC livery, 3 different numbers and destinations. Used to ride these back in college when they were introduced in the 1980s. Only used on a few routes due to required height clearances. Flipped right to left to get doors on the correct side.

2) Daimler CVG5/A open top tour bus in Matorco livery - retired Hong Kong bus type not 100% confirmed , but my best guess (others too) from pictures. Used for tours around Rizal Monument, Luneta Park, Dewey/Roxas Boulevard in Manila Bay area. Many modifications to the upper deck, rear flipped right to left for correct door and added seats.

3) Leyland-Albion Viking EVK41L single deck bus in Pantranco intercity/provincial route livery. Not 100% sure about type, but it fits the time frame when Pantranco refleeted with somewhat unpopular Leyland buses. Flipped right to left to get doors on correct sides, needed many modifications to windows and added rear roof cargo rack.

4) Ford F150 Flareside 5th generation pickup truck, thought I could make the free Grand Theft Auto Bobcat generic pickup more realistic. This was also a real type of 60s-70s pickup assembled by Ford Philippines, with a choice of license plates for various years.

As usual, these will be available pending moderator approval. May do a few more vehicle recolors before going back to aircraft.
