Gakken 1/26 Stephenson's Rocket

[peterairfix]

Whilst waiting for my hurricane parts I have decided to give this one ago as a break from the normal.
Checking with scalemates it's been through a number of boxings.
So far I have made and painted the chimney and started on the boiler and fire box.

Built and attached the pistons firebox attached and everything is onto the chassis.

Started adding pipes.

Talking about warp speed the tender is almost done just the final assembly to do.

Hi Peter
That looks great. I wonder why the box art is not yellow :rolling: every picture I've seen has it yellow like your model.

Peter,
Looking very nice.

[Tim Marlow]

Looking fine Peter. Yellow is the “right” colour for Rocket as well, just how the minds eye sees her.
