EFE 38703 Seddon Pennine Alexander Y Type Eastern Scottish (1:76 scale) Review HD
This is a review of the EFE/Exclusive First Editions Seddon Pennine Alexander Y-Type in the stylish Eastern Scottish livery. This is the bus version that has the shorter bay windows and I used to go to school on Seddon Pennine Alexander Y-Type that was similar to this one in the 1990's as a number of these Scottish buses were sold to independent bus operators in England quite cheap as the ones my local coach operator had were the Seddon Pennine and the Leyland Leopard chassis. However other chassis that sported the Alexander Y Type bus body was the AEC Reliance, Bristol RELL and the Bedford YMQ/VAM. The model bus is very nice and captures the actual bus really well. The only downside is there is no wing mirrors, otherwise I would have given this model a perfect 10.
Overall Rating: 9/10.
