2 of the 3 coaches are now sprayed in blue, the 3rd is waiting on a final coat. For a first attempt at masking and spraying models I am very happy with the result so far!
I havn't ordered the dark grey paint for the roof or black paint for the cab window surrounds, emergency doors and underframe yet, however I have made a start fitting the 3d printed underframe components including air tanks, camshaft cases, aux panel etc, I havn't finished yet but its already looking pretty neat.
Bogie sideframes are all now fitted along with the 3rd rail shoe (on one side of one bogie). The motor was mounted too high on the chassis in the middle coach resulting in that end of the carriage sitting lower than the others so I have adjusted this and it now seems to be the correct height.
Overall a pretty convincing looking kit and definitely worth it for anybody looking for one of the PEP series.
