Airfix - Narrow Road Bridge Broken Span

[BIG X]

I've just bought one of these - don't ask me why - OK - it was on offer...

 

 

I was wondering if anyone has got one of these and painted it - any pictures or tips on how to handle it would be very appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance - Steve

It actually weighs a ton - I'd hate to drop it on my toe.

I've got one as well but at the moment it's just in an undercoat of 237 Desert Tan enamel.  However, Humbrol did use the full-span version in one of their "how to" videos, which might give you some inspiration:

Brilliant John - I'll take a look.  Must grab a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits though - looks like good viewing.

Here it is with a 1/72 Panzer IV on it - could be impressive...

 

 

or maybe it could even be used for 1/48 as it is described as a 'narrow' bridge - single track maybe...

1/48 Bedford MWD...

 

 

OOH - Just noticed - than canvas looks awfully glossy - might have to give this a blast with the Winsor and Newton Matt varnish...

i think it looks better with the 1/48 truck. if you do it anywhere near as good as the truck it will be awesome!
