Darius43 Posted November 20 Author Posted November 20 Bodyshells assembled and joints filled. I’ll let the filler set overnight. Sanding and priming tomorrow. Cheers Darius 5 Quote
Darius43 Posted Thursday at 06:16 Author Posted Thursday at 06:16 Bodies sanded and primed. I removed the rather coarse cast window bars. The plan is to replace these with finer bars pre-painted onto clear acetate sheet. This will be cut to size to flush glaze each window. Cheers Darius 3 Quote

Darius43 Posted Saturday at 13:51 Author Posted Saturday at 13:51 Primary painting completed. I went with the BR blue and grey livery that the Class 140 was finished in. The Class 142’s were never finished in this livery as far as I am aware, but I like it. Cheers Darius 3 Quote
Robert Shrives Posted Saturday at 14:20 Posted Saturday at 14:20 A great recovery on what looks to be variable castings. The weight will help traction I am sure. Agree on blue grey but looks the part. Reminds me of a long ago attempt with Thameshead N gauge leyland bus kit to make a 140- roof was right -narrow width but failed on narrow chassis a 142 would have been easier by far. Have fun lining out. Robert Quote

Mol_PMB Posted Sunday at 17:28 Posted Sunday at 17:28 That’s a bit too accurate for comfort. It’s making my knees and back hurt just looking at those ‘seats’. 1 Quote
