NCB Sherpa Van
The humble Sherpa van was used extensively by Britain's publicly owned utilities, services and industries. This example, a work in progress, was owned by the coal board and looks rather attractive in the NCB black and yellow scheme.
This is the Oxford diecast model, first disassembled and stripped to bare metal. A coat of primer / undercoat has been applied from a rattle can. Then, paints from the Precision range have been airbrushed on.
Finally for this session after a coat of glossy varnish the NCB transfers have been applied. The NCB logo was created from a photo of Nutty slack's treasured Nantgarw / Windsor Colliery sign using transfer papers. Thanks once again for enabling this.
Detailing and reassembly still to do.
