Aster BR 9f build

Hi Tony
 
Your 9F kit build is looking good. May I suggest you paint the lower part of the Stainless Steel firebox with some heatproof black paint? In the finished loco the firebox can be seen in shiny metal. Painting it black will make it less obvious.
 
From your earlier post Tony, I can confirm that the green ‘Evening Star’ version is completely sold out in the UK in record time. Yes we still have the black kits but they are going fast too.

 They look very nice , the Green one already a collectors piece I bet not too long the Black one as well.

Thank you Robert for your kind words about the Aster BR 9F Evening Star. This loco has been a storming success in the UK and it’s good to know that overseas customers have enjoyed building the kits and running their finished locos too.
 
Although Aster has been a business for me for the last 10 years, I am really a model steam train nut just like the rest of the guys here on the MLS Live Steam forum! The privilege I have is to work with Aster Hobby Co to bring these superb scale models to an appreciative audience.
 
The guys in Yokohama are always delighted to hear that their efforts are being appreciated. With each new creation the Aster engineers seek to bring new ideas and greater accuracy and performance to their models. It also makes my day to know that our efforts are enjoyed by fellow enthusiasts all around the World.
 
As long as our loyal customers keep buying them, then the guys at Aster will keep making them!
