NIR 450 class from bachmann 150/1

[Liverbird81]

My first ever time scratch building. I've tried my best at filling & sanding all the decals and filler so my next move is to spray primer. Is any grey plastic primer any good for red bull livery or should I maybe go for a white plastic primer. Have a good look at the photos guys and don't be afraid to provide some constructive comments as I've said its my first ever scratch build

Nice work! I'd say grey primer for the body

[Liverbird81]

Thanks ok I wasn't sure on primer as I'd read that the primer can affect the colour of paint. Il go for grey.

My next move is cutting a cab end of and replacing it with a walk through door for middle coach. To complete the 3 coach set. I want to scratch build & complete from the 150/1's then il maybe buy a worsley works brass kit and compare the two sets

I can't see the pictures on mobile site is there a reason for this ????

cool that

Great to see you have taken the plunge. Once you have the primer on you will see any bits you missed on the sanding process. Be prepared to fill and sand and fill and sand to get a good finish. Good luck on the project.

This is a great work in progress and that bachmann 150 is a lovely smooth runner.

Looking good, have still to tackle one of these myself so it's nice to have a shot of inspiration! Keep the pics coming please!

[Liverbird81]

Shall do,it was a somewhat daunting thought for well over a year so I'm hoping it turns out the way I hope as I'm wanting to give the 80's a go next I like the thought of the yellow sandite Already the hornby donors purchased of eBay. Then it's the gatwicks with a little help on the paint from a very kind modeller.
