German Dampflokomotive BR86 - Hobbyboss - 1/72

I saw this little gem in a hobby shop as just had to get it. After all who doesn't like trains? Airbrushed with Vallejo paints and the real wheels were undercoated with Model Masters metalizer for the metal effect. A few bits broke off while my fingers handled it bit all in all a nice kit. I still have to assemble the track base and find some suitable vegetation and mini 1/72 rocks.

For me there was only two fit issues. The wheels need not to be glued to the chassis. The fit is quite tight. Furthermore the engineers cab is slightly angled to the rear, so that the rear hopper side doors quite don't meet.
