Hello guys
I mounted the bogies but they are very fragile and complicated to put in line, I had to create a guide for correct align them. After I have installed the tracks, are those of the kit, there are individual truck and segment of trucks. The detail is great but the operation is a little delicate. The sag is not the best but I think it's okay. Now the model is really very fragile, my sensation is a bit more difficult to mount those to the right of the train.

Hi James
you are right , the installation of second sector of trucks have been "hard", for every single trucks to mount , two trucks was dismount on another section...!!! To end I have block with plastic cement in some section and hard cement (cyano) in other section.
This is my little method for guide the bogies in correct position.
Now I'm washing the tracks and bogies with Vallejo acrylic black because my precedent experience with white spirit and oils colours on little and delicate parts aren't positive.
We will see the results .....
bye

Hi guys
I add new photo. First step is the preshading with black, when the paint is dry I have sprayed the two colours for british camouflage, the light mud and the blue-black , realized with tamiya colours. I use a Badger 150.
The lining with oils paint after the complete dry of last step. On the bogies and trucks I have used a lining with vallejo acrylic colours, because I have experience with the white spirit which was corrupted the most delicated styrene parts.
Now I spray a coat of Future for correct use of decals which I will apply tomorrow.
Stay tuned..

Hi guys
after a coat of Future, I have applied the decals present in the box. A second layer of Future to complete the decal step.
I have started the weathering phase, with enamel, oil and acrylic colours....
Bye bye

That looks really nice Mike!
A thoughtful presentation (photography) as well.
The misc. paint cans, paint tubes, and glue bottles, etc... really help me get a sense of reference for size of the model and the colors and weathering techniques that you are using. Much appreciated. Thanks for posting up.
Cheers,
Bill

Hi guys
I post photos of the provisional model, now in the final stage, lacking the external accessories and will be concluded.
The photos are not of good quality, the next will be better ...
