I need a spare locomotive for the NG7 layout, and in the cabinet, I have this model, built from a Smallbrook studio kit many years ago. A quick wheelclean and lubrication, and she's good to go.
But, the tank sides both exhibit a weird bubbling under the paint.
Does anyone have any idea why? The rest of the model is fine. If I've followed my normal practise, the resin body will have been primed with Halfords primer, then the the top coat is enamel.
For the moment, I'm going to pretend it's a clever weathering technique.

On a couple of Smallbrook models I've made, there's been what looks like lead shot cast in the resin to add weight. Could they be getting restless inside and trying to make a run for it?
Good thinking - the lead is in the tanks too!
looks like it has rusted and the paint department has not repaired it and just sprayed over the rust
Whatever caused it, looks fabulous
