Finished, I think.
A shot of the underside arrangements.
It is supposed to look like a wagon with a few years service (which excuses the body side distortion!) but not long after a repaint.
As said before, it is an excellent kit. A few own goals which needed attention, including the very last operation. A cotton bud with gun blue was rubbed around each tyre tread in turn to tone them down. Three behaved as expected but the fourth must have been turned from stronger stuff because it remains hideously bright. A few other blacking concoctions to hand wouldn't touch it either so I wish I had thought to do it earlier in the build.
