This was one of my first attempts at doing a more complex livery on a model bus. This livery was known as the 'Rainbow Warrior' livery and was worn by Yorkshire Woollen Bristol VR HHL 735L. West Riding also applied this livery to two Leyland Olympians but where blue has been used on this version, the Olympians wore green. Paints are standard humbrol paints, the red is a satin red and is more orangey than the 'bright red' gloss. Decals made by myself using a font that is a near enough match for the real font.

This kit was already built and painted in National Express livery. I didn't dismantle the kit as it would've been rather hard to get it back together - besides, dismantling it may have ruined the overall look of the vehicle. I removed the National Express livery as best I could and set about applying the Ridings Travel livery. Ridings Travel was the coaching side of West Riding buses. The paint is standard humbrol colours and were a good match for the real colours. I made the decals myself using a photo editing suite and waterslip paper.

Once complete it was given to a friend as a Christmas present. The kit is a Northern Counties Leyland Olympian supplied by Mirror Image Models. I cleaned up the kit and set about repainting it. The model is based on TWY 7, a Leyland Olympian based at Arriva Yorkshire's Pontefract depot. It was frequently used on the 410 service between Leeds, Pontefract and Doncaster. The bus was bought new by South Yorkshire Road Transport of Pontefract, they were taken over by West Riding who in turn were acquired by British Bus - Cowie - Arriva. When Pontefract depot was closed, TWY 7 transferred to Castleford depot. It had been in use for a while before it was deroofed. The bus was bought my Ensign who converted it into an open-top and re-registered E767 LBT. The reg plate TWY 7 is now worn by an ALX200 Dennis Dart, based at Selby.

Not many VR's received this livery which is why I chose it, unique and rare and though it's quite a simple livery, it suits the bus very well. http://lee-tomson.fotopic.net/p39635345.html I used the photo in the link above as a guide to repaint the model and other VR photos from the internet to help with grille locations etc. DWY 149T was the last in the 1978/79 DWY-T batch of West Riding Bristol VR's, originally numbered 415, it was later renumbered to 877.
