B-2 open wagon kit - SAR livery

The B-2 open wagon is back on the market after a long delay. New tooling for the floor and under body details. Upgrading on the existing body was undertaken, where rivet details have been added. Also a number of etched components, which includes a mixture of both brass and nickel silver.

The end result is a very nice model.

When I get a chance, new images of the kit components will be added. Also pictures of the finished model.
