jhb171achil Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That is absolutely superb in all respects, topped off by a perfect paint finish. You've nailed the UTA green perfectly, not always that easy to do.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the UTA green, I used Phoenix Southern Dark Olive - the modern UK Southern Railway franchise, not the big 4 railway company. It was thinned and airbrushed straight out of the tin.

I plan to finish the MED in the first UTA green livery. Looking at the photos in “Diesel Dawn” I think the sliding doors were also ribbed so I will need to add them.

jhb171achil Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 A truly mighty job, Kieran. I recall the green railcars well, but the only time I ever saw 6 & 7 was in maroon & grey..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
