Time to tidy up

What's a skeleton in a cupboard ? .......... For too many railway modellers it's hidden, half, perhaps in some cases completely forgotten

project and, probably half built !!

 

Well a recent one of mine was and still is a Parkside PC86 Z2 gunpowder van. Started towards the end of April, but bypassed by the recent

multi build of V12 - 16 vans shown in the last two blog entries. While watching the 'test' train circle slowly my eyes fell on this part finished

wagon. Last evening I decided to number and add tare and tonnage stencils.

Much to my annoyance I'm still stuck. I require some smallish red decals G P and V, these were mounted on both ends and the left-hand of

each side. Probably time to search all my RAF WWII decals to see if Bomber Command used these letter in red, but will I have 4 of each ??

I don't want to do detail painting, or weather until I can find and fix the missing letters. While I can print decals at home the one thing you can't

do is match the paint colour of the surrounding area and would you fancy your chances of cutting neatly around small letters ?

 

Sensible suggestions welcomed !!

Thanks for that Guy,

I'll have to check it out - I do find Fox difficult to find my way

around. I even have a FOX BR sheet where I can't read the decals

to know which ones to use, very small, and printed white on white !!
