Following colors you should have on hand for the locomotive:
According to the manufacturer Italeri ...
Red (Flat) - Model Master 1550 / Model Master Acrylic 4714
Gun Metal (Metalizer) - Model Master 1405 / Model Master Acrylic 4681
Dark Tan (Free) - Model Master 1742 / Model Master Acrylic 4709
Copper - Model Master 1551
Rust - Model Master 1785 / Model Master Acrylic 4675
Silver - Model Master 1546 / Model Master Acrylic 4678
Who now but does not want to race specially going to raise the Model Master Paints somewhere, can - as I do - resort to Revell; o)
The following Revell colors I used for this model, which I myself prefer the new acrylic paints, the numbering at Revell but are identical to the paint colors ...
Fire red satin - Revell 330 (for the entire chassis, including the wheels.)
Black satin - Revell 302 (for the entire superstructure)
Matt anthracite - Revell 09 (for the coals in the tender)
Iron metallic - Revell 91 (for the treads of the wheels - there could be but also accept aluminum)
Aluminium Metallic - Revell 99 (for some cog in the cabin - as you could but also take iron)
Copper metallic - Revell 93 (for a gigantic can figure in the cabin - eigtl nonsense.)
Stainless matt - Revell 83 (for the clutch and the rails)
Erdfarbe matt - Revell 87 (for the thresholds)
these colors I have used! There are no recommendations from the manufacturer!
The instructions is plentiful illustrated and actually self-explanatory. On important matters will be specifically mentioned - but in English! For example, the state of the wheels during assembly (Wheel Positioning) or the compression of the locomotive and tender (Snap).
So then ... Have fun making! ; O)
I had plenty of fun =)
