I have built one of these before, but that one got sold.

This one is built more or less as it was out of the box, as the former one was heavily modified to match the original blueprints...

The subframe for the body and roof. Notice the paper strips glued to the frame sides to shim it to the correct width.

The dry transfer decals added, I just love how the dry transfers look painted on the surface even when it's as uneven as here.

The end with brake rod and decals.

Only trucks, couplers and weathering left to do.

Picked up 4 laBelle kits while I was in Colorado a few weeks back. Do you seal the wood before assembly?
