I seriously can't see past the blue coming too far up the bodysides, almost touching the bottoms of the windows!
It's a shame too, because apart from that, the coaches look really good (to me anyway).
The thing that confuses me is that when I look at mixed rakes on old pictures, i can't tell if I'm looking at mk2's or mk2a's.
According to wiki, the original coaches (mk2) were vacuum only, so surely they wouldn't couple with aircons, but the mk2a's were air brake only, so wouldn't couple to mk1 buffets.
How did that work? Are air cons dual braked to overcome this?
