Porkscratching

Very nice work indeed 👍

Re the above question on sealant, I can recommend Alpha 123 pu sealer/adhesive, it's excellent and has stood the test of time on numerous jobs I've used it for. I'd say it'd be perfect here. 

Most interesting... I've got one of the Airfix kit versions, as yet unmade, I did have a mad plan, a while back, of using the kit as a "pattern" and making the model in metal. I then started thinking of up scaling it to make a larger model !... Whether I'll get round to any of this remains to be seen, at very least I'll at some point make up the Airfix kit.  I did in fact make one as a kid when Airfix brought it out the first time, would've been late1960s I guess ? 

Always thought it was a fascinating loco, and good to see some interest in it. 

I made the airfix version as a kid!.., are you going to finish it in the stick on aluminium foil stuff?

Seen a few planes done in that, whilst it sounds a bit of a nightmare to apply, it does give the aircraft a most realistic look..
