Hornby Mk 4 to Mk 3 coversion

[BabyGM]

Hi Guys I thought I'd post a tutorial of a project I'm doing at the moment

It's really only necessary if you have spare Mk 4's hanging around and you don't wan't to pay alot of money for a new rake of Mk 3's

 

 

I start by clamping a ruler to the cut line and marking where you want to start/stop cutting.

 

 

I remove the 8 windows and one vent/square window

I then re-arrange them as Vent-Windowx8-vent

I then glue them to them main body using plastic weld

 

 

Then I fill in the gaps or strengthen the line if necessary

 

 

I'll update with the finishing touches and painting when I get them done
