locomad2 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Acquired 1965 so its genuine HD, unfortunately suffered damage soon after, been in its box finally got round for a repair. Yes could put a wenn body on and for many years did have one, however acquired a HD chassis required so decided to a rebuild. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
locomad2 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Sytrine sheet followed by a 1st coat paint job, the plastic has really discolour more like a green, humbrol 72 Matt nearest match. Not a bad job might just leave it for now, in a train it's hard to spot. Was it worth it?, yes quite enjoyed the Challenge, nothing to lose job 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

locomad2 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Thanks, it's been on repair list for 55 years, did find the bits many years ago but they where too distorted. With the current 2nd hand prices fetching silly money what was to lose? Could spend more time filling holes with finer filler, or perhaps suitable for some weathering. However temporary retirement suddenly put on hold, back to work tomorrow, peak tourism season too 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
