Hi All,
Slow but steady work continues on the Class 87, Lima body on a Heljan 86 chassis to reiterate.
For the best part of this week I've been working on the roof of the 87, which has involved cutting up the Heljan "Class 86" body to remove the roof as one piece. And removing the chunky and fairly fictional lima roof.
So after a lot of sawing, filling, test fitting, more filling, more test fitting, a bit more sawing and you guessed it, some more filling. The liquid poly came out, and the roof secured to the body of the 87.
Unfortunately I didn't bother with any "before" shots, but I really think it makes a hell of a lot of a difference to the model, despite being the wrong colour. The finer detail of the Heljan roof, really lifts the model. I think this will become my default method of upgrading 87's.
This week I'll be returning to the underframe.
Regards
Matt
