Folks, if you have thought the NWFB is just another retired Dennis "Dragon". Well you are not that correct. NWFB, CTB acquired the Duple Met Sec Dennis and rename it Condor so it does not have any semblance or sound like their competitors version in Kowloon. There are at least 13 differences listed below:
FRONT FACE:
1. NWFB condor upper deck front windows are sliding while KMB dragon has a push out window
2. NWFB condor desto has has a smaller font than KMB dragon
3. NWFB condor wind screen wipers are at the tip of the upper window whilst KMB dragon has one on the upper tip, the other at the lower side.
4. NWFB condor has an extra small grille in front of the BC while KMB dragon doesn't
5. NWFB condor front gille extends to the bumper while KMB dragon does not and leaves a buffer
DOOR SIDE:
1. NWFB condor glass panels on the door does not extend full length while KMB dragon does
2. NWFB condor desto is above the side window while KMB dragon is in the side window.
3. NWFB condor has full sliding side window while KMB dragon is half sliding window
4. NWFB side indicator light is next to the entrance door while KMB dragon is above the side window
5. NWFB condor emergency engine cut is at the rear(door side) above engine panel while KMB is at the back of the bus
BACK SIDE:
1. NWFB condor rego(rectangle) is below the route destination while KMB dragon is on the right side below the emergency stop button
INTERIOR:
1. NWFB condor seats have a plastic grip cover while KMB dragon are metal
2. NWFB condor lower deck seats are row bench (similar to SBST VO2X) while KMB dragon are face to face -

I certainly do not get why the difference between prices are so high for the Hong Kong bus model enterprise , we have shopping mall sellers selling bus models way above retail price , more often then not those items have been tampered with well maybe because the mall was haunted enough for the factory seal to disappear and mysterious cat scratches on the box and paper box to appear
on the other hand we have two other local distrubuters one is BRADDEL depot up to (2010) then another bus fan who supposedly does it as a hobby....
original prices in Hk are 50-55 depending on age and rarity , in some shops comes with friendly service where you can have a leisurely chat about buses and choose through the stockpile until you find the limited edition number you are happy with , also you get to ensure that the item you buy is up to not just the industry standard but your own
while here in shopping malls in Singapore the stock is limited to what the seller ordered from online websites , personally the model shop running the websites try to do away with buses that other bus fans rummaged through and did not accept
the market in Singapore is way too miniature for bus models to be sold in shopping malls

Earlier this year , commerative SBS bus models were selling at less then $50 at best
pay a little more and get to purchase the item outside of the bustling toa payoh int
well now the same item which costs about $20 to manufacture is selling for $75 at this space shuttle speed , even COE for larger cars don't inflate so fast ......

SMB144D,
A word of advice, check your models properly before you pay for it. If it is not satisfactory, do not buy it, buy it online from 80m, get it elsewhere, buy it if you are going to Hong Kong.
You as a buyer have the right not to pay for goods that are not in good condition or you are not satisfied with.
To clarify, bus models range from HKD328 to HKD398 for DIECAST, HKD468 to HKD498 for RESIN.
The prices are a guide as final retail price depends on the manufacturer.

Always check around with the price before making any purchase..or do a conversion with the original price from the origin distributers[in this case, 80M bus model shop, or some other websites].
