Another evenings work has got Phoenix ready for painting, with the roof modifications completed and new windows temporarily installed.  
 

the roof has a rough coat of Vallejo white to highlight any areas needing more work (it needs another still), matching the Hornby White is proving tricky as it’s an off white colour.  With the whole rake being repainted for consistency that’s not a huge problem.

the windows still need the vents and curtains painting on.

I am going to order one of the Precision Labels livery packs to try in the spring.  At which point I want to paint the full rake. 
 

here’s a comparison of the windows
