It's BR blue, but not for diesel lovers!

Martyn Welch has been working his magic again, this time on a Masterpiece Models "King".

I have to say, I think it looks rather nice in blue and especially like the view looking down on the tender.  Enjoy!

Very nice indeed, hopefully my K2 and L1 will look similar to this, but in lined LNER green of course...

Don't get me wrong, it looks great, but I think he's missed a trick with a lack of a few oily axleboxes here and there..

PS, I agree about the axleboxes though

That is lovely  8)  I really like the early BR blue, it's a shame it was abandoned quite so soon.

I also agree about the axleboxes.

Nice but have you seen the blue king that Fred Lewis did  a while back.
It's on his web site. He works his magic on my locos and for me it dosent get much better.

I'm not quite so allergic as Lancer here, .... but.... I can't help thinking that blue doesn't seem to suit Kettles as much as green, red/maroon, or - dare I say - even black does...  :scratch: ??? ... or is it just me..?? :-[
Still a stunning model, of course...

GWR locos should be green and no other colour!
I agree about Freds finishing
