BigAndy Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm just mid-way through a Hornby MK2z full detial and respray, using Brian's excellent etches. I too have Lima 2b's and some 2c's to do as well, but on each of these maufacturers models, the original appertures are way too small and all need filing out - it's quite an intensive job but so worth the end results. I've just got to the transfer application stage with the Hornby 2z ( it's in ScotRail blue stripe ), so I'll post a couple of fots once it's done. cheers Andy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need WR BSO, 2 x TSO, 2 x FK, with one TSO in the shops Then I need a RMB, that will be based on a on Hornby one, roof will get seperate vents and handrails, a respray, but not sure how to deal with the windows. Do I try Replica glazing? Or Comet etched sides? I will also need a pair of Replica B4s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
