Bratchel Models class 456 kit

Once again little progress here, with the dull jobs of scratch building new end details, and filling gaps in the bodyside.   But the first of the pair should be ready for paint by Ally Pally.  A word of warning for those contemplating buying the kit, it has no underframe, and class 320 ends.  + incorrect bogies, no 3rd rail shoes, incorrect roof detail, moulded lines to remove from sides.  On the plus side the shell goes together very well, and has very good flush glazing.

Work still to be done:

bulletMultiple working jumpers on 2nd cab.
bulletHatch detail on roof
bulletNew bogies, correct pattern from Hornby Networkers (thanks to Nigel Burkin for the tip)
