Some say size doesn't matter but look at this.

That's almost as big as my Bren {real} [ATTACH]113031.IPB[/ATTACH]

Hate to say this Jim, but it's bigger than a Bren gun.


That grey looks much lighter than the Panzer grey used on German armour Scott. I read somewhere that the Germans used a lighter grey on their normal railway rolling stock so you reckon they'd have done the same on this? I'm only asking 'cos this is tempting me to start my 1/72 version.

Looks a right beast where are you going to store that when it's done

Hi Dave I use the revell aqua as I much prefer the colour as opposed to the German grey made by tamiya. Once I have washed it all over with nuln oil it will come out darker, iam attempting to show a slightly more weathered appearance without over egging it. You are correct that railway stock used by the army were much lighter grey,check out my br52 loco for this but it is possible that the lighter grey was used.
