More tinkering with the GBL Gresley A4 body shells. This one, on a Bachmann chassis, has finally entered the painting and finishing stage.
The tender really does scrub up well though I will need to find a replacement spectacle glass for the tender, as it don't come with one fitted.
A bit of filling and filing was needed at the front end prior to painting blue...
…so I started on the tender instead. Note the extra access hatch added and the valances filled in and smoothed over in the corner behind the cylinders.
The next stage was a few coats of my own brand garter blue...
…painting the cab roof...
…and fitting the excellent Maygib sprung buffers.
Until next time, when hopefully LNER no.17 will be revealed in all her glory. TTFN.
