I have read a few posts about people using black primer for underframes so I gave it a go along with grey for the bodywork.<\/p>\n<p>Then I made a start on the next one which is another Dragon kit. This one is the NBR\/LNER &#8216;twin&#8217; tank travelling gas wagon. I emphasise the twin because I have asked Chris Basten if he can supply another kit with an extra tank so that I can do a triple tanked version too.<\/p>\n<p>This is another one that originated in the Majestic models stable and so far the tanks have made up very nicely. The only adjustment that I needed to make was on the outer tank wrapper which has two half etched edges to make a smooth seam. When I tried them the left too much of a gap between the wrapper and the cylinder so I cut of one of the half etches plus an extra 0.5mm this allowed for a much better fit and the slight overlap from the remaining half etched section is hidden under the tank.<\/p>\n<p>What has come as a bit of a surprise based on the other former Majestic kits that I have built is that the bulk of it is etched (I had in my mind that the chassis was cast much like the 4mm SE Finecast versions that I built previously &#8211; perhaps that&#8217;s where the false idea came from&#8230;.).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_6704.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1238\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_6704.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6704\" width=\"800\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_6704.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_6704-300x175.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_6704-500x292.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_6705.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1239\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_6705.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6705\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_6705.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_6705-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_6705-449x300.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All the rivet strips are separate items giving a nicely reinforced appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quiet day at home resulted in my getting the timber wagons into primer &#8211; two colours no less.
