Dapol Fruit 'D' detailing project.
A while back I ordered 3 un-decorated GWR Fruit 'D' wagons from Dapol. As you've previously guessed I do like Dapol for a source of modelling projects.
I understand the bodyshell for the Fruit 'D' has a venerable past and there are some dimensional inaccuracies. However Dapol have breathed life into it with a new chassis. With this I feel it makes suitable layout NPCS vehicle offering a bit of variety.

These 3 have received Lanarkshire Model Supplies buffers and roof ventilators which gives a bit more finesse.
The roof had been sprayed with Tamiya German Grey. The sides use a psuedo BR Crimson from Citadel brush applied and the chassis is sprayed with Tamiya NATO Black. Wheels are standard Dapol inked in with a black Sharpie indelible marker.

Transfers once more come from Cambridge Custom Transfers and were fixed with Johnson's Kleer.
I've used a wash of Vallejo acrylics to pick out detail. They await a dusting of track dirt from the airbrush shortly.

More soon and thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Mark
