Manufacturer description

Our second release on the newly tooled Plaxton Panorama 1 is a model of a coach used by Birmingham based Flight's Tours and according to its destination blind on the front, it is off to Blackpool. The body-style dates from the 1963-64 period and in its day won many awards for its streamlined appearance and comfort.

Registered 977 JDB, the fresh Buttermilk cream body of our 1:76 scale model is offset with black and silver side panels and a black chassis. The contrasting interior is moulded in red with a tan dashboard. The tour company's name is printed in gold with black dropped shadow work on the sides and the front, while the back of the coach is a little more decorative with the inclusion of two fluttering pennants featuring the company name in red and gold across the boot. Silver masking adds further detail to the exterior and the company address behind the nearside front wheel arch - 114-120 Victoria Road, Aston, Birmingham, completes the effect
