I am going to start small until I decide what I want to do so here's what I have got. IMG_20230802_181624.jpgIMG_20230802_182148.jpg
 
I've got that old kit kicking about somewhere Peter, so I'll happily follow along....

I remember these as a child living in London in the late 50s. There's quite a few parts for such a small model.
 
Wow, a sixty year old kit…..not surprising it has flash. I remember it well in its Peco boxing but didn’t realise it was originally an Airfix release. Should be a lot of fun…..
 
Nice one. I will be watching this on! Be nice if Mini Art picked this up in 1/35. Must be hundreds of variants of them.
 
I just ordered some GWR decals so I just have to find right colors for it.
Might be an anachronism if you do Peter. They came out in 1948 and the GWR ceased to exist in 1947. Railway versions were in blood and custard livery I think, like this faded and battered example.

I'll pop in a watch this build if I may. I have memories of blues ones zipping around Portland Dockyard in days gone by!

I have started on the two piece cab and put the barrels together and painted the wheels IMG_20230802_193807.jpgIMG_20230802_193815.jpgIMG_20230803_125256.jpg
And have the correct paint IMG_20230803_125333.jpg
 
Nice catch on the pillar..... it's the little things that make up a great looking model. :thumb2:

That turned out the Bomb! nice to have the extra trailer, you could load it differently and add a bit of variety. Well done! :thumb2:
