Darius43 Posted April 8 Author Posted April 8 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. Cheers Darius 5
Darius43 Posted April 11 Author Posted April 11 Decals on and original MTK undergibbons fitted. Cheers Darius 7 1

Darius43 Posted April 14 Author Posted April 14 Completed. Added nameplates (Fox Transfers), wipers, buffer beam hosiery and cab interiors. Light weathering of chassis to finish. Cheers Darius 5

irishmail Posted April 19 Posted April 19 Nice work there Darius. Do you have a Lima and Dapol 73 for comparison? Would be interesting to see how they sit along side each other. 1

Broithe Posted April 23 Posted April 23 If the mods could perhaps limit the pace of posting on this thread, it would give a bit more peace of mind to those of us that couldn't write a To Do List at this pace... 1 9
Patrick Davey Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Once again, your output and swiftness are both very impressive! BR blue is iconic and looks well on those units. 1
