M Graff Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi all! I just bought this HOn3 caboose to accompany my Sunset K-27's:  What colour should I use, and which decals should be used? I model D&RGW in the late 30's, early 40's. Thanks for any help.  Does anyone have any experience with the mfg? I think I made a bargain, as I paid £18 for it including shipping.....

RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted March 18, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2014 I would say you have got a bargain. Â It might be worth joining the HOn3 yahoo group for more assistance. Â I think my dad painted his shorty caboose brown after priming and am sure he used microscale decals.(sorry memory is not great!) Â There are some excellent reference books available also.

JWB Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The official color was "Princess Mineral Brown", but any commercial boxcar red will work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feather River Bill Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'll give you 19 pounds for it???  I'd say a Floquil Box Car red...or equivalent. I guess it all depends on what you can get in Sweden.  http://hon3annual.com/reviews/hon3_review_blackstone_caboose.php  That's a great model at a great price! Enjoy it!  Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWB Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I just realized you also asked about decals. The best choice is Thinfilm HON 101. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
