Hard to tell without looking straight on to it, but I'd say that the window frames look too small in general. On the original they extend down to the orange stripe and there is also very little gap between the frames.

The one thing that is quite clear in the photos Mick shared, is that one way or another the windscreen is clearly wrong.

That is very clear, the reinforced window frame extends to the top of the recessed panel on the prototype but not on the model….

TMC have some of the latest ones in both standard and sound fitted

That could be an indication that they have had a delivery, as stated 'in stock' for a few and 'out of stock' for others. Time to give them a call.

I've paid for 602 and 609 and heard nothing about a delivery?

Checked, and due to be delivered on Wednesday 🙂

The frames look too thick (as in they protrude too much and look like a grommet type fitting, rather than the flat bolted plate of the prototype)

I am drifting in the direction of a well known third-party etched windscreen supplier.

(To match my 97302/97304)

 

I'm afraid that the AS 97301 windows are very much on my "once seen, never unseen" list.

 

I'm also going to touch up the yellow line along the top of the nose-side grilles to remove the yellow line between the grey and the black.

The front headlight may also need some attention, as it looks a bit "flat". (Another Shawplan fix?)

I'm looking into a solution for the very obvious gap at the side of the windscreen moulding that is highlighted by the light grey.

Admittedly this is 97302, but it doesn't have the gap.

You could use the Shawplan toughened screen etch but snip around the edge of the frames, spray them black and apply them to the front. Pop the inner screen moulding out to file back the existing frames first.

I used Shawplan etches on my 97302/97304, so at least they would match.

Well rails have taken payment for 610 HNRC so i guess they must be there..........so hopefully the ROG 608 is in stock at the homeworld for dispatch too............

[Krieghoff]

Im hoping so as well Eric. Both my yellow peril and ROG are hopefully not going to be too long. I have HNR 610 on order as well as 609 and 602. 
 

fingers crossed for next week hopefully.

Mick, as they have had their last overhaul, the mods they have done is to have LED hi intensity light, this has been angled differently to the original. Don’t want to glare other drivers when driving 👍

Nothing about the angle. Comparing the pics a couple posts back, the headlight casing looks like it doesn't stick out from the nose enough. It isn't much, so I guess I can live with that.

Yup… hopefully they’ll arrive this week😂

[N. C Hornsey]

37609 and 37608 arrived at the Locoshed Manchester yesterday i happened to be there when the delivery arrived, very happy with both. 

[Markn]

Bure Valley Models seem to have 608 and 609 in stock too. I've got a preorder elsewhere for 609, but just paid for 608 with them as was struggling to find one.

Good news that the retailers are getting 608 and 609, I've had no word from Accurascale on my directly ordered 608 that it is on its way yet.

Same here, no word from Accurascale regarding the delivery of mine, however I would assume that they are working as hard as possible to get them out as soon as possible. Keep the faith an extra week is nothing compared to how long we’ve all waited for a good RTR 37/6 model!

A we have the team working today and overtime booked in Monday. It’s quite literally all hands to the pumps! Thanks so much for your patience. 

[47423]

Have all the 607's gone to the retailers as I've not heard anything from mine yet. Ordered my 606 direct and received that ages ago.

[Module00]

Hello all, this is my two 37/0 Accurascale models 37027 and 37043 weathered by TMC. 

 

 

Have a good watching. 😃
