SW1500 Britkits version

Unread postby KCJones » Fri Apr 20, 2012 4:32 pm

*&!welcome!&* The up coming SW1500 in SP colours. (The kit will be in the standard FLC colours)

What will you get? !*don-know!*

Flexicoil and AAR versions. Two side rail types. Working ditchlights and cab radio, Snow-plough three (Two) horn types A200 and P5. Wet windows and snow effects.
The model is unashamedly based on my MP15DC and SW1200 !*YAAA*!

When will it be relesed?

Hopefully this week end. In taking the pictures I noted a problem but that shouldn't take too long to fix. *!embar*!

Flexicoil version with long side rails and plough fitted oh yes and large fuel tank for road running

For a while, PayPal started their payment notification e-mails that way. It was a take off on the AOL mail notification.

The crew in the SW1500 must have not been hanging on when they did a quick stop (or coupled hard). They both appear to have slid off their seats down onto the floor. !*roll-laugh*!

Would it be possible to remove the oil caps and expose the roller bearing ends on the AA\R trucks? I would think the SW1500 would have been roller equipped.
