ANOTHER KITMASTER TT MK.1 CONVERSION

Another conversion purchased from the 3mm Society secondhand sales stall some time ago.
It appears that two BSK kits have been cobbled together to form a BG. Roof, floor and Underframe trussing are shortened accordingly as the real BG was built on the shorter 57' underframe.

As can be seen, this conversion has been painted in an almost Malachite colour, too light to represent BR SR coaching stock/EMU green. Nevertheless quite convincing with only a slight discepancy in the spacing of the various windows and doors.
Notice a couple of roof vents have been replaced by 3mm Society cast white metal ones, to try them out.
