Blog- Hornby 142 Upgrades - Underframe Detail


 Share

Recommended Posts

<p>Starting with a few dabs of paint on the underframe - silver on the exhaust, a couple of spots of orange and red on some mouldings. The Hornby underframe is fairly crude so the red and orange paint don't really match up to the prototype.</p><p> </p><p>

After that dried I brushed over with some 'Rusty Wash' made using some Tamiya Orange Brown and a drop of Orange mixed with suitable paint thinners; and some 'Dirty Wash' made using some Tamiya Dark Grey and a dash of Orange Brown, again with suitable paint thinners.</p><p> </p><p>

As you can see I managed to damage the glazing mould, I have had to order a complete body spare from Peters Spares. I plan to saw the glazing so I have access to the roof to fit the DCC Decoder, wiring and lighting.</p><p> </p><p>

Next - Altering the internal seating to give a more prototypical look.</p>
