Good job that man ! I have one of those RB's to build at some point - maybe in ten years time - mutter, mutter  :)) It would be nice to see the whole lot together.

Hi MTH,
They look fantastic :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
Whose/what did you use for the curtains? I especially like the almost closed look :thumbs:
I have just finished a Easybuild FK , i used the Peter Cowling curtains on mine but they are all in the tied back position ::)

Nah - 40s were heavy & slow, and gave you tinitus.... if it's British it needs a [s:1mm3zi05]Deltic[/s:1mm3zi05] er umm... I mean a Western on the point... but best of all would be something from EMD, or four or five of 'em... :drool: :)) :thumbs:

Yes they are definitely a flaw in an otherwise excellent kit
