MTK Class 47 painting completed.
I also shortened the chassis by 2mm to stop the bogie fronts foaling the buffer beams and better align the bogie-mounted steps with the cab doors. Also by added buffers and buffer beam side valences.

Started this morning.
The kit is missing the buffer beams. Fortunately I have spares from a previous MTK Class 47 modelled with cut back buffer beams.
Plan is to mount the MTK body on a spare Hornby chassis.
Joints filled and sanded and plasticard shutter parts scribed and fitted - these were missing from the kit.
Primer coats applied.
The kit-supplied white metal buffers are a bit anemic (and bent) so be will be discarded in favour of some spares box buffers.
Cheers
