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.
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.
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.
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.

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