Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I bought this model of a KD from Jim Poots at last years SDMRC show in Blackrock. I been just doing a little bit of work to it in between other jobs and I finally got her finished. I did her as one of the buses I used to drive out of Ringsend on the number 15 route.

Garfield Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 That looks fab! I like the adverts on it... especially the old 98fm one on the back. Just need another one with a Rock 104 ad now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need another one with a Rock 104 ad now! I would love to do one of the Dublin Buses that had an all over wrap I can't remember of the top of my head it was an RH and it had the all over wrap of either 98fm or fm104. It was mainly black with a huge red guitar on the side. That was my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarabuses Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) I got them at Jim Poots stand at the Bus show last Saturday Stephen A very good job on that KD and it looks at home with the Olympian. The ads look like the latest releases from Sunrise transfers. http://www.sunrisetransfers.com/ Edited May 3, 2012 by Tarabuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Yes that's the very one do any of you guy's have good detailed shots of every side of this bus. As I want to do a model of her I have to say that was my favourite advertising wrap of all time carried on a Dublin bus Edited May 4, 2012 by Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hidden-agenda Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 God all mighty Anthony are you proposing to paint one in the 98fm livery.Mind you it would look the dogs with your other buses in that livery bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joegriffin1984 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Anthony as far as I know that 98fm RH was not an AOA. The ad was only on the offside and rear. The front and nearside of the bus still had the two tone Dubin Bus livery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front and nearside of the bus still had the two tone Dubin Bus livery. I'm pretty sure you're correct, it's how I remember them anyway. It used to bother me as a youngster that it wasn't a full AOA, but then I was quite a sad child! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joegriffin1984 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Anthony, RH98 was Ringsends 98fm bus . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Thanks for that Joe I will do some research on line to see if I can get her registration number. So its only the drivers side and the rear has the advert. I assume the passenger side carried the standard Dublin Bus livery to match the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegriffin1984 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Anthony, RH98 is 91D-1098. Last time I saw her was in open top format in Galway I think. Yes only offside and rear carried the advertisment. Front and nearside still had two tone green livery.
