Good Morning All,

So in June 2019 I bought this Train..... Kato Flying Hamburger 10704 - SVT877
The train was in a perfect running condition and all interior lights, forward and tail lights fittes and working, but the body

was really damaged.
Someone tried to glue parts to the roof that according to this model should not even be there.

Then I decided OK, I'll buy it and ten I'll fix it.
So I scraped up my courage and did the fix last night

Pictures here is how I received it.

So here we go......

I took a very fine sanding paper 1000P and lightly sanded the roof. Little bit at a time till it was nice and smooth.
Really worked well.

Cleaned the whole body off and then it was time for masking. I used the Tamiya Tape as it is thin and have a really smooth edge.
I have to say, I tried about 3 times to get it perfect.

Next step was spray......
