This can sit for a few days to fully harden before I attempt the yellow panels.

Will it get a second coat Steve?

[Steve M]

Believe it or not, there are two on there already!
The ends are good but yes, the sides will get another one later this afternoon.

Strange colour Maroon. I painted a couple of locos that colour and the coat always appears to be too thin.

Reds and yellows are an absolute bu§§er.

I can think of a short Anglo Saxon response to that suggestion Richard.

Daily life has got in the way a little on this one, but I’m creeping up on it slowly.
The main block colours are done and having now removed the masking tape, I will need to refine the edges as part of the detail painting before thinking about transfers.

Colours match the photo - that’s the first box ticked!

I was hoping to get a bit more done this week but had to take the memsahib to the dentist today and have a hospital visit myself tomorrow ahead of a small op in a couple of weeks. A bit busy with work and doing a lot of liaison work with the police as a result.
As always, life gets in the way.
