Being all moulded in black plastic means that the detail just disappears.

Time to think about doing some detailing on the chassis of the Lima Class 117 DMU. I am not doing anything too fancy, just making the best of what is already there. To be fair, there is a fair amount of detail with various air tanks, lockers, pipework and so on but being all moulded in black plastic means that the detail just disappears. 

Lima Class 117 DMU,

Having looked at some photos on line of the real Class 117, the paints and brsuhes came out and I got busy!

Lima Class 117 DMU,

It already looks a bit more interesting and whilst the colours are all very bright, I am going to weather the whole chassis so that will all tone down. That is a job for once the paint dries though.
