Yes - there are so many great models available straight off the shelf these days . EFE (Exclusive First Editions) do a large range of buses to 1/76 4mm per foot scale including London RTs , Routemasters, RFs and more. Original Omnibus Company (originally Corgi, now under Hornby) do others, and there are other sources as well. The range of 'classic period' cars has exploded in the last few years, and even older (pre 1950 and prewar0 cars are now available to some degree - very useful for when I built the pre 1952 London tram layouts.
Many years ago I built a few model buses from plasticard, but it's very hard work! - these super new models make it so easy, and I can concentrate on the overall scene instead.
