The kit is a box of flat wood, sticks and plastic pieces from either Tichy or Grandt. There are no trucks, couplers or decals included. The instructions are one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" paper printed on two sides with written directions and an 8 1/2" X 14" piece printed one side for a scale blueprint. I will approach this build as I would a structure and prime all the wood pieces with Walmart rattle can gray primer. I let the primer dry until it does not smell, go over all wood with a scrubby pad to remove any raised wood grain. I then drag a razor saw down each piece of wood to give some grain and then deburr again with the scrubby pad. I light application of A&I wash and then assemble the sticks over the supplied blueprint.

Didn't like the light color of the sticks for the underbody of this car, way too light, so before beginning construction I painted the wood "wood" color from Model Masters. When dry scraping with a razor saw and using an A&I wash produced a darker color for the underbody detail. NExt was placing some wax paper over the full size plans. Cut the sticks to size and check all dimensions before glueing up over the plans. I use Elmers carpenters brown glue for this step. The floor supplied was a blank piece of wood, I scribed wood floor boards and applied a heavy coat of A&I wash. Holes were drilled for the queen posts and the ends of the truss rods per the instructions. Nylon fishing line is supplied for the rods. All under frame details were painted black and then lightly weathered with rust paint from Floquil. Two blocks of wood are supplied to help support the sub roof and sides. Thats it for now
but I like the look of older well used stuff.
