I have the in laws visiting the baby this evening, which will give me a couple of hours off baby duty and let me get into the workshop.

My plan is to get on with an eBay purchase of a slatters clestory d14,

While it's the toplights I am really after, getting this kit at a good price was too good to miss. The intention being to use it as part of a summer Sunday special.

Looking at the kit there's tons of detail, although most of the main plastic parts are badly bowed (is this common with slatters) so some strengthening and straightening will be needed

I'm also planning to model it with duckets, and will also be removing some of the panelling. I want an example right at the end of its life in patch painted and weathered in pre war choc & cream

Not actually got a photo to work from which doesn't help
