leighivansmith Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hi all, anyone had a crack at this kit? just pulled it out of my stash and took a closer look - does not look massively difficult but the detail seems very good. wondering if a build thread was in order... thanks, Leigh.

bentwaters81tfw Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Not built one, I sold it on, but I have seen one built and very nice it looks. You might want to check this thread for trains stuff, it's a bit further down the forum page. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/239-locos-trains-and-layouts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul178 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Built one 25+ years ago before re-branding. Its not difficult at all (Its a snap kit). A suitable case for weathering that's what I am going to do to mine. I will probably get a second and build it as a clean example. BTW there is a Hudson in the same series I don't know if Revell will reissue that or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 General Melchett built one not that long ago. The pictures are on here somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastcat Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) He did indeed. It's a real beauty and it's here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234942157-pacific-union-alco-4000-class-4-8-8-4-big-boy/ I've always been tempted by this kit, even though it's a country mile from my usual stuff. I think Revell did release the Hudson when the Big Boy came out but I've not seen it around for a good while. Rosebud Kitmaster did a Hudson many years ago. Saw one at Telford this year for a modest £100! I love these amazing machines. You only get an idea of their size when you stick them next to a UK loco. I'd love to see them do a Hiawatha or Hudson Dreyfuss or similar. Real art-deco style locos and totally unique. If you build it Leigh, please do a build thread.

bentwaters81tfw Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Is that the right link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxyzptlk Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I have the Monogram boxing in my stash. I do check out the instructions occasionally. One day... I would be interested to compare it with my Rivarrossi (model railway) version (looks very impressive when running). Never had the two close enough to compare! Now if someone did a Cab Forward... (another Rivarrossi I have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
