After beginning this project last autumn, it sat on the back burner for several months as many more important things took priority. However, after completing much of the interior work a little while back (and crucially lining up the side and rear joins) I recently made the finishing touches to this livery.
To be honest I'm surprised nobody else has released one of these in the meantime, considering how often people who've seemingly never seen the real thing slap together liveries of buses local to me, just because they can. Mind you, it's only been out a day and I've already noticed one thing I forgot to add. Oops!
For the repaint pack itself, you get three liveries:
A 'magenta' one (similar to 21221/4)
A 'lilac' one (based off 21222/8)
A 'lilac' one without branding
The magenta livery is more akin to 21221 at the front as it features the pink 'bib' shape below the windscreen, with 21224's influence at the rear with the old Stagecoach logo and Traveline phone number on the rear window, albeit with 21221's flat bumper, and a neatened version of the white roof.
The lilac livery is more akin to 21222 simply because 21228 IRL lacks Stagecoach logos above the door/cab, but has 21228's rear with the cyclists and thumbs up stickers. Additional changes on this version as well as the colour are that select bits of branding have been repositioned, the rear logo-shape is slightly smaller (as per the real buses) and two lighter stripes above the rear window are absent (also as per the real buses).
The unbranded lilac livery exists due to the IC Eclipses running in service without branding for a short while and mostly represents 21228. Doing an unbranded magenta seemed overkill, but if I ever get round to fixing the small issues with the livery I might include it just so there's something of a worthwhile addition.
Even if Lincolnshire/Gainsborough map is a bit disappointing, at least I can have some proper local single deckers on it now!
