Model Bus Federation Press Release - 25th March 2020

The Model Bus Federation is delighted to announce that their member Shop is now open for purchases online – www.model-bus-federation.org.uk/mbf-shop

The MBF Shop has always been hugely popular since it was opened 50 years ago. And now it is set to be even more so as members can make purchases online. Live stock levels, showing all sorts of different items for scratchbuilding and detailing are available, including wheels, radiators, external and internal model accessories, plus some scenic items. You can also purchase our range of member-only resin kits and model bus books through the online shop too. New photos of each item are still being uploaded, making it easy to identify a particular part for your project but, with over 200 different accessory items alone now available in the exclusive MBF Streetscene range, this will take a bit of time to complete. Even if you aren’t a member, you can still view the range of products, but you will of course need to join the MBF to make a purchase.

Members can pay quickly and easily using PayPal, credit or debit cards and, whilst processing of payments is being handled by PayPal, you don’t need to have a PayPal account to make purchases. For further information or to join the MBF, visit www.model-bus-federation-org.uk, visit our Facebook Page, email or write to us at Publicity Officer, 21 Plough Close, Aylesbury, Bucks HP21 9AD.

Model Bus Federation Press Release - 5th October 2020

The Model Bus Federation is delighted to announce their latest resin kit in the MBF2K series.

MBF2K-10 is a resin model kit of the Temsa Avenue service bus, with bonded glazing. The MBF is delighted to have acquired the manufacturing rights and master for this prototype, which was previously produced by Saltire Model Kits. Whilst it might have had a slightly chequered existence with Arriva in the UK, it is a modern service bus that will also appeal to fictional fleet operators. Printed glazing, white metal wheels, plus etched brass mirrors and wipers complete this highly detailed and authentic model kit. As the windscreen is flat, it is an ideal kit for the ‘novice’ who would like to try their hand at resin kit building.

Casting will be in Q4 2020, so the kit should be available in early 2021.

Pictures show various angles, including detailed interior and glazing.

Like other MBF2K kits, the Temsa Avenue will be available exclusively to MBF members only. To join the MBF, visit www.model-bus-federation-org.uk or see our Facebook Page.

NEW Model Bus Federation resin kit - August 2020

The Model Bus Federation has announced their latest MBF2K resin kit.

MBF2K-09 will be a resin model of the Alexander Enviro E300, with gasket glazing. The MBF is delighted to have acquired the master for this prototype, which had/has wide operator appeal, as well as being a great service bus for fictional model fleet operators. It is hoped that several chassis/engine combinations can be offered using the same master, giving modellers a number of model choices. Printed glazing, white metal wheels, plus etched brass mirrors and wipers complete this highly detailed and authentic kit. Casting will be in Q4 2020, so the kit should be available in early 2021.

Pictures show various angles of the master, including detailed interior.

The kit will be available exclusively to MBF members only. For details on how to become a member of the MBF, please visit their website at www.model-bus-federation.org.uk.
