For 2007, Sun Star will offer three new models, a 1964 re-furbished RMC with revised front wings and grille, wider "via" box and revised Green Line livery, an "out-of-town" RM from the GLC years, and RM2217 as it ran on Route 159 between Streatham and Marble Arch on December 9th 2005, the last Routemaster. These three models will constitute the final chapter of the Sun Star Routemaster story and then, like the real vehicle, the moulds will be "retired".

Sun Star’s tooling design engineers have excelled in the amount of detail incorporated into this superb replica that is hand assembled from 248 parts from 23 separate moulds. The main body of the model is cast in metal while the fine detail components, including seats, driver’s cab interior, handrails, clear lamp lenses, mirrors, indicators and over 200 other fine components are moulded in high quality plastics. The delicate radiator and brake cooling grilles are produced by photo etching to exact scale while hand finishing, ink pad printing operations and decals provide exact copies of the original exterior and interior decoration. Open the bonnet and there in full detail is the 9.6 litre AEC six-cylinder diesel engine looking ready for the driver to start up! Underfloor detail is not missed either with engine/transmission, axle, subframes, fuel and air brake system features all there in three dimensions.
