Theres no reason why CMNL would wanna produce a mould for only 1 model. Dont forget that CMNL models are usually UK buses. With the "Ban" on bendy buses in london. I doubt any london operators would bring in any bendies. Thus, it makes more sense for them to recycle those old moulds that they have instead of wasting money to make a nw mould.

If CMNL is into business, they should have produce a Euro V mould for bendy for Keisei. It doesn't make sense to produce it under a Euro IV base, be it that is it the ban on bendies in London or any other reasons. If they can produced a Euro V rigid (ukbus 5025), they can produce it for bendy as well.

Agree with bro Acx, to each his own.

Cheers.

If you do notice, most bus faces are standardised for economies of scale, so the model makers will follow the same rule

As i said to each his own...
If its selling like hotcakes for model enthusiasts in JPN and elsewhere[ex Singapore], CMN sure did not do anything wrong with the Keisei bendy model.
Do also note when London stops their bendys from serving its routes and have it all withdrawn, i do not tink CMN will want to manufacture anymore bendys if you know the history of CMN's models

My buses are NOT OPENED AT ALL, fellow bus fans who have bought from me can attest to that...
The wrapper covering the box is still in tact.

Yes, there was but it is not available for sale and rewarded to SBST employees and those who took part in the "spot the bus" contest and won
