hi dear Pete,thank for the history and review;i love locomotives;when i was young in Deutsclhland;i take trains with this locomotive;goods memories!cheers Patrick
Nice one Pete, a very informative review, I didn't realise how little I knew about German wartime trains and why they would use diesels instead of steam power. I can honestly say though that I can't ever see me buying a loco kit, I wouldn't be able to cover my bodges with mud.
Thanks mate! That's true, not too much to do in the way of weathering on this one. can't exaclty have mud splatters! Glad you found this one interesting! Cheers!
Ive built two of thoses kits but i wish you could make the drive wheel move freely instead of being a static model Plus the hand rails on the doors and the ones that go from the front of the cab to the front of the model are very fragile and can easily break off
Thanks for that heads up about the hand rails. It's always good to get this kinda advice. And yeah, I had the same thought, but couldn't see an easy way to make it work. Cheers!
Using a combination of mat black paint ,rust wash and rust pigment powder on the undercarriage comes up nice 😅
Thanks for that. I haven't weathered an loco before so this tip will come in very handy. Cheers mate!
