Wow you've put me on the spot there, I'm no expert on the real things but I think they have done a cracking job.
The detail is very good the printing is nice and crisp.
The compensation is very nice. Best of all I haven't had one yet with bits falling off it which is a slight problem with heljan models, it must be the type of plastic they use because it doesn't seem to like glue or the glue dries out to quick.
I won't score it but I have kept one back for myself and I didn't intend too,

Here is Falcon in BR Green. Sorry about the fit of the bufferbeams but that's one area that needs sorting.

Does anyone know if they are going to do the original brown livery as well please ?

Lime Green and Chestnut Brown with Falcon stickers is to be done Mickoo. If I get enough pre-pro models I might do one in it.

Really? I would of thought the two tone green would of been more accurate for it's period on the WR, I think the brown one was when it was on the ER and the repaint came with the region change, or there abouts?

The clever idea of moulding the body and glazing as one piece in clear material, then simply painting the body sides in, seems to have been most successful!

Splendid, I'll start hoarding the pennies

She was tested on the Western in the original livery, in fact she double headed a train into Paddington with D1000 at its naming ceremony. She didn't get the two tone green until 1965 which is too late for me as the turn table at Ranelagh Bridge was lifted in September 1964
