More Classix Nouveaux than Southern Nouveau...Is it a dream?

A while back a built up four Cambrian Kits with a Southern Railway theme.
They were given a coat of primer and have been awaiting spraying as well as the internal planking painting on the open wagons.
One of the newer Cambrian Kits is the LSWR 10T van kit. I understand the S&DJR had some of these wagons as well. The SR classified them as D1410.
The kit itself goes together nicely. I've used Gibson wheels and brass bearings.
I've sprayed the underframe in Tamiya Nato black and preshaded the bodywork. The main body colour is Tamiya Hull Red. I think the sole bars should be brown also. Can anyone confirm this?
Buffers are from the excellent Lanarkshire Models range. I just need to fit a rain strip on the roof and paint it.
I'll finish this wagon in mid-30's-40's livery with smaller lettering from HMRS.
Here the van is seen in the company of a SR/LNER 12T Mineral Wagon built between 1945-1946 at Ashford to D1390/D192.
Same process again with painting but I've feeling I need to repaint this wagon in unfinished wood effect with painted in iron work.
I'll put an order in with Eileen's soon so will order some metal strip to make door bangers.
Below are the last of the SR builds for the time being. From left to right are an 8 plank 12T D1379 wagon as well as a 5 plank D1380 wagon.
These are built and finished the same as the first two kits.
More soon and apologises to Sal Solo for the title of this entry.
Cheers,
Mark
