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

Will it get a second coat Steve?

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.
