thanks for your comments,
also thanks to faust and the others who helped post the pics properly.
the lighting in the pictures i took is very harsh, and it makes the colour look a lot lighter, and also makes the weathering hard to see.
i plan to repaint this model at some stage, to a more accurate shade,
more stowage, and better tow ropes will also be added,
and one more thing, they are the kit tracks! no £30 aftermrkets for me!
cheers
joe
