porkie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Im thinking of having a bash, at building a couple of Inspection Saloon cars.. http://www.ultima-models.co.uk/catalogu ... =UME1416K1 After doing a quick google search, I didnt realise how many diffrent liveries these carried Now im unsure on what liveries to go for ? As my layout is based from mid 80's to 2008. Has anyone ever tried this kit? Or can assist with livery choices? Cheers Porkie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 RTC Blue & Red would be one choice, or as your period is quite large some of these since privatisation have gone into retro paint jobs, Maroon, Blood & Custard and Green.others into variations on company colours. Personally the maroon would probably fit best with the period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol_Rich Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I've built the Britannia Models version of '508 in 4mm.... Its since been disassembled as I wasn't keen on the chunky resin ends and since made an incredibly slow start to scratch build it back up together with new ends. The thing I found most difficult to find was an accurate record of the seat locations within. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 The thing I found most difficult to find was an accurate record of the seat locations within. Didn't a lot of those saloons have movable seats anyway, like dining chairs with arms? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
