| Further to the great success of the previous launch of Solent Blue Line Mercedes-Benz blue star bus models, CMNL is releasing another Solent Blue Line bus model with eye-catching route-branding decoration on the popular MPD casting. This is ukbus 3027 carrying red rocket colours. The ukbus 3027 Solent Blue Line MPD replica carries the fleet number 577 and registration number SN03 ECC. Hampshire bus operator Solent Blue Line brought a splash of colour to the local transport scene when they reinvented their local network around Eastleigh as "Red Rockets" in autumn 2006. Wanting to bring an element of fun and excitement to local bus travel, Solent Blue Line commissioned well-known agency Best Impressions to design this striking red colour scheme. The new livery was applied to ten Mini Pointer Dart single-deckers, but the rebranding didn't stop there! Each bus was decorated internally with vinyls promoting travel by Red Rocket and also recalling famous rockets in history. As a finishing touch, humorous slogans on a space theme were applied to both sides of each bus - all of them different - provoking a positive reaction from both passengers and passers-by. This is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the gasket windows and the livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. The model also features excellent detailing, inside and out, including an opening engine door, showing the detailed environmentally friendly engine. All grab rails feature inside the replica and in their correct locations. The construction method of this replica permits realistic-looking front and rear lights - in particular the front headlamp / indicator assembly whose headlamp is transparent and indicator is translucent. The brand new ukbus 3027 Solent Blue Line MPD models are limited to 1400 pieces produced. |
