I've just visited the jotus website. Interesting new way to buy
models instead of physically flying there to buy ! But my dislike
of online buying is that one is not able to inspect the actual
product before buying it so as to ensure one is not given a
'sub-standard' piece, which could be troublesome to exchange
?!
I note that Citaro model is die-cast with 1:76 scale, not quite a
'standard' scale like HO or 1:43 unfortunately ! Also this maker
Creative Master Northcord, never heard of them before but how you
find the model's quality ?? In terms of sharpness of edges,
accuracy of details, paintwork finishing ? Also since it's die-cast
(metal hence !) @ only 1:76 is the sharpness & accuracy as good
as on the high quality plastic models like Herpa of 1:87 scale
?
I also note they only make 1000 pieces this model. It seems the
regular 3-door red colour version is more popular as the 2000+
pieces were all sold out !
Overall of that model website, i notice they cater mainly to RHD
models used in Hong Kong & England ? I hardly can find any
model used say in Germany or rest of Europe ?? Seems they don't
have any model of the modern German coaches ?
