  There seems to be some diff though, I believe that the one in the above picture is a LO3X, while those models in the web is VO3X.

  That model is a Volvo Olympian but it was a re-coloured SBS version of a HK bus. The model was released to commemorate SBS's 25th Anniversary in 1998 and is made by Corgi. The other model, released in 2001 to commemorate the 28th Anniversary as well as the re-branding to SBS Transit, was made by Creative Master Northcord and is based on an actual SBS Olympian.

  Oh, hmm, great...
  So, are there any LO3X models around, erm, depicting either the current colors or SBST colors?

  It's actually bodied by Wright, so it's actually a ficitonal bus since there's no such bus in SG... I think he did a brilliant job if he did modify the buses himself!

  Actually, some of the buses wrong already, for e.g 1 of the B10TL has BLUE seats instead of RED ones.
  
  Then the B9TL is obviously wrong >_>, B9TL dun have LED!
  
  The SBS livery Trident is more accurate than the SBST livery. SBST livery's Trident looks abit fake, especially the LED part, like a piece of paper print out then paste in.
