Finished flat

 

One final job on the flat wagon - applying the transfers. Easier to do than to photograph, I assure you. 

Those supplied in the kit are of really nice quality, and there are three sets provided in case it all goes wrong. Simply cut as close to the lettering as possible, give them a bath in water, and then position on the wagon. Slide the backing paper away, and when happy with the position, dab with some kitchen towel. 

All the model needs now is a coat of matt varnish to protect the plastic from UV light, and it's good to go. 

You could argue that these look very similar to Accucraft RTR models, and I'd agree. That's not a bad thing though, as the RTR stock has gone up in price and become harder to buy. These, for a lot less money, look the part, run well, and stand up to typical handling. 

However, my wagon box is now full. Please don't tempt me to build another one. Mind you, I have the skip wagons...
