My NSE VEP has just arrived and overall I am happy with it. As with any model I will make a few light improvements, the pencil trick on the gangways being one, plus a renumber to a Brighton unit.
The same thing still strikes me, those horns are seriously undernourished but easily fixable, the first class compartment walls have already been noted elsewhere, if they were in black or a neutral grey then the starkness of the solid white wall would not have been so noticeable from the outside, again something that will receive some attention at some point.
One interesting issue that has arisen though, mine is a DCC Ready version on the box, the VEP within however has a little slip of paper telling me it is fitted with a DCC chip, a fact now confirmed once I got the MBSO body off!! Looks like a some DCC fitted ones have wound up in the wrong outer boxes, not a major problem for me but may be something others will need to check.
