How much does one diecast model cost?

Acx1688 SG

Spot rate $50.80

Bank rate would charge $52.70

Hypothetical situation...
Different bank mark up differently due to internal costs
Still need to add miscellaneous charges levied by VISA/Mastercard/AMEX...
Should never exceed SGD59.00 hor...

Junyang700 SG

Spot rate $50.80

Bank rate would charge $52.70

It wouldnt be so accurate. Every second counts. The exchange rate goes up down up down every second. Not forgetting the money changers' rate or the banks' rate (which is already 2.5% or more).

He just said spot rate and gave a hypothetical situation...

80M bus model 38501 ATR400
KMB Alexander ALX500 Dennis Trident ex-Longwin Bus rt.42C

This ex Longwin 12m bus was 1 out of 150 bought to operate on Northern Lantau and Airport bus routes.
By early 2010, due to operational needs, a few of these Dennis Tridents were repainted with KMB standard low floor livery.
Seating arrangement also differs from regular Dennis Trident's on service with KMB.

SBS has and did release scale models[mostly 1:76] to commemorate special events, eg 25th Anniversary, launch of SBS Transit...
For the 25th Anniversary in 1998, they asked Corgi to produce the SBS "Superbus", a 3 axle double decker with route 25[SBS9426Y] and the 25th Anniversary decal pasted on buses windscreen in 1998.
Corgi came out with the model but it is a pale and incorrect version of the actual Superbus in Singapore, there were major errors:
1. Seating arrangement of the bus was that of KMB's version
2. The top deck window is not "wrap around"
3. No coinbox, farecard machine...

I prefer the SBST Superbus by CMNL.

Subsequently, SBS decision to go into rail operations on the encouragement by government to be bi-modal operators in Singapore led SBS Transit to be set up.
SBS was retained in the new entity as the operator says Singaporeans have grown familiar with the name.
So, SBST launched a commemorative set comprising of a Twin Pack[sv28] and a Single Pack[sv88]
Creative Master Northcord was tasked to deliver and boy did it deliver
A specially created mould was created for this project, this time, the 1:76 scale model closely resembles what is running on Singapore roads.
1. Coin boxes, EZlink reader, farecard machines
2. Correct seating arrangement
3. Wrap around windows on upper deck
4. Grab bars on front of upper deck and many more...
5. TV mobile
Authentic to detail beauty
