#austerity #rebuild #kitbuilding So nearly there now! I started this project of detailing a Hornby Austerity in September as a simple detailing job. However it soon became a much bigger job with a new chassis and a good portion of the body rebuilt. Using RT Models chassis and etches, with Markits wheels and axles and fox transfers lining, it's at long last looking like the real thing. If nothing else, cutting out the moulded boiler and replacing it with plasticard and letting daylight through would have been enough. This has been a number of firsts for me, mainly my first brass chassis build which proved challenging but worth it. It'll be running by the end of the week. Probably....
