Here's what I've been working on over the past few days - a Dapol Presflow kit. The real thing was a covered hopper designed for cement transport and built in the late '50s. The model actually dates from around the same time, as it was originally tooled by Airfix, Dapol obtaining the moulds a few years ago. It's a good kit though the tooling is showing its age now - there's a fair bit of moulding flash. Tricky part is keeping it square as there's no single floor moulding - it has the two "floor" sections either side of the hopper but that's all. The hopper body has a good quantity of lead fishing shot inside, fixed in place with PVA glue before the hatch covers were added - no derailment problems with this one! <br /> <br /> <br />[img]http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/trains2k5/images/2-picture3.gif?0.07826645358980433[/img]
