Lima Class 50 strip down

[APT Fan]

Good Evening,

 

Does anybody have any experience of removing the glazing units from a Lima Class 50? It looks like the cab is glued into the glazing unit as it is difficult to seperate them, but I can't be sure.

 

Thanks

From memory if you pull the body sides outwards far enough you should be able to get the whole glazing unit and can interior to come out cleanly.

Well that was a bit nerve wracking! So I put a small screwdriver at the top of the cab wall and turned it in order to break the glue seal at each side of the joining point with the glazing unit. Despite the cab removed the galzing unit still wouldn't come out until I prized the windscreen from the front frame using a screwdriver again.

 

Phew! On with the painting the inside now to prevent light bleed when the lighting is fitted. Its the large logo version and I have to say that despite its age, this is a really nice model.

 

Thanks for the replies.
