New Silver Fox Models

[Glenderg]

Can confirm that they're just painted.

 

The windows are painted in? So that doesn't technically make them windows, just recessed panels? Have I that right?

Not impressed by the Sulzer but the G601 looks OK...

 

 

 

 

 

There's no grille (under worksplate) at the front of the bonnet in the older G's. Also that raised area on top of the bonnet doesn't seem to feature?

True, although it's nothing a file won't fix if building the kit yourself.

well spotted there minister - so she would be right (as can be) for balck /white or tan liverys?

It's not a major gripe, it can be corrected with some bodging, but might as well do it right as wrong when sold as a RTR.

Would want to be on a par price-wise with other resin G if I were to purchase it as a kit, that is if it's powered by the same unit.

Wrong for every livery... They're G611 features.

£35 for the kit version, I understand. Recommended power unit is a Tenshodo Spud.

Not too bad, 5 quid less than DC for body/chassis only.

The inspection door on top of the bonnet is a feature of both types of G.

Personally I think using a Spud presumably to keep the cost down really lets down the model. The Spud is a nice bogie for running around at high speed, a Black Beetle particulary the 25:1 would have been a better option for a shunter.
