Reviews
This is the first 16mm coach I have built so I wanted to start with a simpler basic kit. All the parts first and it goes together easily mostly with PVA and some super glue. The additional exterior kit does make the coach quite striking. The exterior frames were painted before gluing them onto the body to give crisp edges between the red and cream paint. I think it will need some weight under the floor for a more planted ride but I have not been able to run it at the time of writing.
