Modifiying, Improving & Painting - New Dapol Class 59
Recently I've added a model of the class 59 to the layout. The new model from Dapol is impressive and I'm pleased to have a newly tooled example of the 59 for the layout. The model benefits from a number of fixes and improvements if you're prepared to invest a bit of time and get the tools out. In this video I go through the various changes I've made to my model step by step.
