00 Gauge Smallbrook Studio van kit.

Once the pieces were glued together, handrails fitted  and weight added inside the van, the roof was affixed.

There are instructions that the roof plasticard supplied appears undersized but, in fact, the roof didn't overlap the sides and ends as is usual. Apparently rain channels were atop the sides and ends. There is supposed to be a groove in the end castings for the roof to sit in but it is somewhat inconspicuous!

However, a reasonable fist was made of fitting the roof but doesn't stand up to close scrutiny.

Once the paint has fully cured it will be time for transfers and then a coat of matt varnish.
