Hi, Im not familiar with that particular kit but if its a coal mine then this is what I done.... I sprayed all of the walls "Polly Scale Roof Brown" and the roof was sprayed "Tamiya Olive Green Acrylic" After it dried, I mixed 1:1 "Polly Scale Earth + Reefer White" and watered it down...

Thanks for all your replies. I guess I will leave it the way it is although, once the scenery starts to take shape around it I may change something. Thanks again, Troy.

Thanks for your reply Ray. I have since spoken with another guy that has tried mounting the same body to an SD7 Chassis without success. Im now searching for a replacement motor, although i dont like my chances. The only ones I have found in Electronic shops are way to big. Cheers, Troy.

Thanks everyone. The decal has settled in a bit better overnight and doesnt look too out of place now. I will weather both sides some more as suggested by CNR. 60103 asked what type I of Dullcote I used... It was the spray type... And thanks Agatheron, I didnt leave it overnight before...
