Ditto and a little bit of weathering will enhance it further. Well done Andy.

I now see the error having gone back to the previous photo. Didn't notice the first time around.

We've all made Rookie mistakes like that Andy so I wouldn't worry. Re the collector rings I read an article where a guy said he'd never seen them as 'brassy' as on models, they've always been greyer due to the heat.

Hello All,
Neil spotted it, he has the 'eyes off a hawk and the ears of a fox' that one...
CHRIS-- Yes I totally agree with you about the collector ring. I intend to tone it down a lot more when I weather it.
Thanks,
Andy.
