Superior Bakery Blues

Photo courtesy Martin's collection.
While we're on the subject of wall colours, check out the serious blue of the Weekly Herald's cousin, the Superior Bakery. I do like to paint walls to make them seem less like plastic, but with these the colour is so striking that I'd just tone them down a little and leave them as is. 

This looks like an original Revell boxing, and it appears to be in very good condition.

  1. Be glad you're in HO scale. I own this kit in N and it's basically a 4-wall-solid-together plus a roof. Not much wall swapping possible.

    1. I've seen some photos of the Weekly Herald in N scale, and it seemed like it has quite different proportions compared to its big brother in HO. If you have a photo you could share, that would be most appreciated.

    2. I'd have to dig it out. But it's almost a 2 piece kit. Maybe the windows are separate, but it's disheartening to see a solid square of walls with no chance to kitbash it.

    3. Sounds like the manufacturer took some unfortunate shortcuts in making the N scale version.
