I'm told the beam is very shallow. (I know they come with instanters, but they are only really for detail purposes). I’ve fitted Smiths instanters to these, there’s a metal bufferbeam to drill through and then the couplings were secured behind with a nice dollop of superglue! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cessna152towser Posted December 20, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2022 I ordered an HMA pack from Accurascale on Saturday. When I arrived home from the supermarket this morning (Tuesday) the parcel was waiting for me outside my back door, having been dropped off by DHL half an hour earlier. Well done Accurascale, top service, at a time when everything else from other sellers seems to be delayed in transit. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter749 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Will weathered versions of the HAA wagons be produced? The wagons look very good apart from being too clean compared with how they were in normal service. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime @James Makin of this parish done a "how to" guide on how to weather them which is on our website here: https://www.accurascale.com/blogs/lets-get-involved/lets-get-involved-weathering-mgr-wagons-with-james-makin Cheers!

Torbay Express Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Talking of instanters, has anyone been able to get them to work between HAAs in the short position. Tried a couple of times when bored, but no luck! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi uk_pm I first sprayed a light coat of ‘weathering brown’ - a 50/50 mix of Precision Track Dirt and Brake Dust. I then used Tamiya Weathering Master set B (white and rust) applied with eye shadow applicators. Hope that this helps. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad you used a grimy foundation; so did I for the MGR wagons. I will have a go with my Cemflos and see how I get on. In the meantime, thanks for the inspiring photo.
