burnthebox Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Are Hornby mk3's (just found 3 in a box ) any good for repainting, or are they totally wrong for that purpose, any pics of repaints done by anyone on here Quote
0 NIRCLASS80 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Yes I found the Hornby Mark 3 coaches ok. The glazing is a pig to get out without breaking so I gave up and just fitted new windows by flushglazing. See the results here in photo and video. The genny coach is yet to be constructed. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nirailfan/ Quote
0 richrua Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Yes I used them for mine. Mine are not the best respray job but plenty others have examples on the workbench section. decals are also available from studio scale models. Quote
0 richrua Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Oh and i agree with NIRCLASS80. Dont worry if the window glass strip breaks. Just make a new one from any clear plastic. Quote
0 richrua Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Just thinking if they are mk3 with the black and window glass all in one piece then they come out easy. Gentle push from inside from one end to other does it. Quote

Their old version was about 20 scale feet too short. Quote
