Wartime brown coaches part 3

Over the past few weeks I have tried brush painting the roof of the brown sunshine stock third to see how it looks, in terms of time taken and overall finish it was not good enough to roll out on the rest of my coaches so the airbrush will need to be set up.
It is however now almost finished, with the transfers applied to the first side. The class logos and GWR crest are by HMRS, while the orange lining is from Replica. I never thought I would be using up my spare OHLE warning lines, but it just shows why you should always hord transfers!
Now just need to apply the transfers to the other side (once this side is fully dry) and then apply some varnish to Matt down the finish. The roof in particular is far too gloss (despite the fact that it's not gloss paint!)
Speaking of the roof, my intention is to use various greys to get different base colours for roof weathering. In this case it is Intercity Falcon Grey (I also use BR roof grey, railfreight grey, virgin grey and oil track colour grey...)
In this case it is pretty close to the colour used on Hornby Hawksworth liveried coaches...
