Now I need to apologise to you. This is a build I didn't see and am only just seeing it now, don't know how I could have missed it but I did.  Looks like a lot of fun to build and I look forward to seeing more as you progress..... Lovely work as always, keep the pics coming.....  Regards Alan

Thank you for dropping in... So I've managed to get a little bit more done, The inside of the cab is done not much to see except for the control panels. This is it from the kit.  I've added some decals.  I just used some old decals from the bits box, there all aircraft decals, so I painted the red marks on and added some black paint to hide some of the decals, I think it looks ok really plus you can't see much once its all put together  I'm waiting on some paint to do the main body, I did buy a lifecolor paint set but its horrible in my option the red is more orange which I ended up using on the pipework in the cab instead of where it was meant to be used which was the buffer beams. And the blue just won't dry even after a week its still tacky and its water based so should dry in hours, so I've order a bottle of RailMatch which I've used before but green for my Flying Scotsman.

Next it was time to add the Wasp Lines, these I wasn't looking forward to doing...   Getting these to sit right was a real pain in the A***  I'd never used this manufacture before and I don't think I'll use them again if possible, the decals just started to crack and once softner was added to get them it sit man it got worse.

So I left them for a couple of days to allow them to dry and shrink even more Then set about redoing them by painting over the top of the decals..   Front grills added.  My Favourite Building:- 1919 https://forum.model-spac...=339517&#post339517 -

So I'm calling this done, the build wasn't a bad build but I'll never use Railtec decals again I didn't get on with them at all really. After the wasps decals the simple loco number and the side logo where even worse so much so that the original number I was going to use just got destroyed and so I ended up having to use a different number. Both the number and logo just would not sit down and kept curling up on all sides. In the end I ended up having to use some vallejo clear window glue to help sit them down the following day.

SW It depends where you live, Taken from wiki Scale is the ratio of a model dimension to the real life dimension. O Scale in the UK is commonly 1:43.5 or 7 mm to the foot, in continental Europe it is commonly 1:45 though 1:43.5 is also used particularly in France,[4] and in the USA 1:48.[3] Each region tends to design models to its own scale.[citation needed] The NMRA and the MOROP maintain detailed standards for a variety of scales to help model makers create interoperable models. I use 1/48 because it’s easier to find unusual items that are near the same scale. The End. My Favourite Building:- 1919 https://forum.model-spac...=339517&#post339517 -
