Hudswell in 009: clean and sharp...

Though not for long. The Narrow Planet Hudswell Clarke kit has been 'finished' in a 60s era livery with wasp stripes...

This is the foundation for some distressing and weathering in the coming nights to prepare it for service on a forthcoming top secret project!

Note it is now fitted with pivoting RT couplings which may give some clues to some elements of the planned layout. 

When painting the wasp stripes I managed to lift the green paint on the corner of the cab, this will be touched in to look like damage perhaps caused when the front buffer beam took that knock and the cab footsteps were so badly damaged they were removed... 

More soon...
