  1. So tickets please and we are off. Looking at the kit it is showing its age as there is loads of flash but the other thing that sticks out is the amount of injector pin marks. This has got to be the most I have seen in one kit and I have do a few Airfix kits in my time. So out came my Dremel to sand off the pin marks and the panel lines as I want a smooth finish. I kept the Dremel at low rev's and I also kept it moving on the plastic as to not melt it but using this has saved a fair bit of time. The wooden window covers that come with the kit are made from cardboard and to me look a touch flat so I am going to replace them with plastic ones. Also I am hoping that the extra plastic will help to add a bit more strength and take out any warping on the side pieces. Using the kits covers as templates I cut the new ones from Evergreen V-Groove styrene sheet 1mm thick with 4.8mm spacing. Then using the kit covers again as a guide I marked the plastic and cut the vertical lines in the new covers using a Tamiya "P" cutter. To add texture to the new covers I cut into them again with the "P" cutter. Using the kits covers yet again as a guide I glued the new covers in place. The kit covers are not printed on the back, they are just white and smooth. The "V" Groove is the same with the groove only on one side but because you will be able to see in the main bus cabin I decided to add texture on the inside as well. All I did was to hold the windows up to the light which enabled me to see the groove on the other and mark them with a pencil. Then using a rule and the "P" cutter I cut the new lines and added a touch more texture. For the upper windows frames I just took the measurements off the kit covers and cut the from the "V" groove sheet. I cut the planks individually to help remove some uniformity. Then I glued them to the windows.
