the body was given a coat of red primmer last night then 1st thing today it was given a coat of Halfords Vauxhall Reed Green spray paint

once dry I masked it up so I could spray the footplate & below black

Been playing with my AK weathering set

 

still need to fit the glazing

 

Now remember this loco will be spending its life on a Scottish Jetty with the sea & spray washing over it in bad weather
