Now this wagon has to be a personal record for the longest work bench tenant. At about 4 years from the start of the build and one of my first etched kits, I built the major body bits and left it be. This weekend I decided to finally get on with it, only to discover half the chassis trussing was on backwards! Much fudging ensued....

 

Please excuse some of the wonky details, most of it predates my ability to use a RSU properly ;)

 

The kit is from Stephen Harris and is built as a vacuum fitted BR variant. Bogies are from the 2mm Association shop.

Dave,

 

In my opinion, it is easier to make a etched kit which is designed to have all the details than it is to add detail to a plastic kit as an after thought. Model smarter, not harder ;)
