Its a Corgi Classics, London Transport AEC Routemaster.  RM5 Set.  35001.  40th Anniversary (issued in 1995)




I would say its nominally 1/43 but is a bit smaller than the 1/43 cars I have.
It actually fits in with the miniatures rather well.

I'll get you, Butler!

That looks just the ticket.
Marvellous

Thanks for the info. That Routemaster looks excellent
(I think Jack Regan would have told Blakey to Shut it  )

Latest vehicle received here is the 28mm FT-17 produced by Brigade Games, ordered as part of our ACW 1935 project. The wife is doing the "bad guys" first this time, and this will be a tank allied to the Nationalists, but she will probably have me build it (she's an incredibly talented painter, but hates building tanks, and painting them, at least most of the time).

It's a nice piece, all metal. Cleanly cast, fits together nicely, and I suspect will glue up nicely as well.

We are still awaiting a Vickers E from Copplestone; I also ordered the Model T Armored Car from Brigade (a Company B piece). The Vickers E will go with my Constitutionalists; the Ford will go with my Anarcho-Soclalists in the Kentucky Free State. Looking forward to painting them all.

Also have some vehicles on order for my SCW project. These are the FOA CV33 and Bilbao Armored Car respectively.

There are two big 15mm armor painting jobs in my future. First, because someone stole my WW2 Italian collection almost in its entirety (I had a stand of engineers in another box, but they were the only survivors), I have to repaint everything there, and then I've got a Hungarian Armored Division to work on; the Hungarian book is done, and the boss is asking for photos, since he can't find any. But all in due time.

Almost, 1938 A Very British Civil War airfield scenarios. Actually a BUF firebase, attacked by Welsh Nationalists, in the style of Vietnam, sort of. Some of the vehicles are strictly speaking to late but they're only lorries so will be fine.

Love to see the pics when you game it.

I just bought my fourth MATCHBOX YS-38 ARMOURED ROLLS ROYCE on ebay. I just can´t get too many of these. Great value at a low price, I never paid more than £10 each. And they paint up pretty quickly:



Another purchase which I am pleased with is a Model T with twin Lewis guns from Grand Manner. He also sells the drivers separately so I bought a couple of those as well:
