Here is a photo of the completed brake van, ready for the paint shop. The roof is just sitting loose. My chosen prototype had an extra hand-hold above the ducket on the chimney side, and another one on the roof, so I added these from brass wire. From the prototype photo I couldn't tell if the rainstrips were straight or curved, so I stuck with the straight ones already in place.

Anthony,
ReplyDeletevery nice piece of work, well done.
Makes all the effort of designing the kit worth while when I can see someone else doing it justice.
