OcCre AEC Bus B-type – classic London bus with strong urban history
OcCre AEC Bus B-type is a wooden-metal model kit in 1:24 scale, recreating one of the early London buses from the beginning of the 20th century. The B-type replaced the earlier X-type buses and became an important part of London public transport when the first vehicles entered passenger service in 1911.
For retailers, AEC Bus B-type is an attractive addition to OcCre’s tram and vehicle model range. The model has a clear British city character, a distinctive double-decker profile and a strong connection to the development of public transport, making it easy to present to customers interested in historic vehicles and urban models.
With 580 parts and an estimated build time of around 100 hours, the model offers a manageable medium-level project. The story behind Frank Searle’s design, the wooden frame, steel wheels, chain gearbox and the use of 900 B-type buses during the First World War gives the product added value for collectors and hobby builders.
