Saddle Up - Austerity Decorated Samples Arrive
Who said austerity has to be drab?
With the wide variety of colour schemes our lovely little Austerity tanks received over the years, the last thing they can be accused of now is being drab!
Arriving over Christmas, our decorated samples of our lovely Hunslets in OO/4mm gauge are looking very sharp indeed, and follow our newer practice of announcing later in the project timeline, meaning shorter waits for delivery to customers.
There are some corrections to be made, with sandbox lids white instead of the correct black they should be, and the motion is currently unpainted, which will be updated on the finished models. We also have some corrections to make to Glendower, but these will all be sorted for production. Updated artwork below (sample displays original incorrect artwork)
We have also taken the opportunity with the Austerities to make the humble and rather ugly tension lock couplings, so sworn by by many, and sworn at by others a bit more unobtrusive by moulding the loop in clear plastic. We're not going to call it exactly an innovation, but welcome to the Accurascale Invisilocks!
Anyway, enough of all that. Let's take a closer look!
Looking pretty good so far!
We're delighted to report that we are on schedule with these handsome little tanks for delivery in Q2 of 2026. Also, look out for an "Accurascale Exclusives" model announced very soon!
