3D printed, minimal sanding required, no need to paint
The four ton box van - sometimes called a covered or goods van was used all over the Welshpool and Llanfair railway. We've incorporated many improvements into this kit making it even easier to assemble. This kit comes with multiple transfers too, so you can choose which era to model, or leave them off for custom unbranded stock wagon.
Pre-bent roof with exceptionally smooth finish and internal bracing/plank detail!
