Here is the completed Ration kit of the SR Bogie B van. As discussed in previous posts about the build, the kit is complex but satisfying.

I am happy with the overall impression the model gives. The weathering is as outlined in my quick and dirty weathering post.

Briefly, the body is sprayed matt and then decalfix and powders used. The underframe uses brake dust colour as well as up the body sides. These are applied more generously nearest the bottom of the sides and around raised detail. Powders are applied without decalfix for more heavily weathered areas.

I perhaps should have weathered the windows bars before securing but they may well have remained relatively clean. I masked the windows when i matt sprayed thus the cleanliness. I no in reality the windows would have been weathered heavily too but i didnt want to take any risks clouding them up too much. Maybe next time!

This will make a welcome addition to the layout.
