Review: Nice kit for the price. - There were a lot of reviews that complained you had to paint the kit. Well, that's the whole idea, make it the way you want. I don't have a train layout, just wanted to try my hand at building and then weathering a kit like this. When I was younger we used to build a lot of model cars kits so I had a good idea what I was buying. I have to say I'm impressed with the quality for the price. I finished my kit with acrylic paints, don't forget the glue. I used testors model glue.

A: It's HO which I believe is close to 1/83

A: There are a lot of very small parts in this kit so the only glue that would be appropriate would be Super Glue.

LIFE-LIKE TRAINS Western Homestead Honest review from someone who painted and built it. Could have given a 5 star review except for the misleading sales pitch. Even on the box it says: "Small amount of painting may be required" "Plastic model cement needed - not included" EVERYTHING needs to be painted, and EVERYTHING needs glue. I built car models as a kid...1:12 scale. HO is 5+ TIMES smaller. Tiny. 1:87 So... $18.97 for the kit. $60+ for material and supplies. I'm very pleased. Once I got used to the tinyness, (cheaters and strong light recommended), all was good. Tiny parts were very precise, with little/no cleanup or flashing. LL Trains has a great product for a model. I will buy others now that I have all the supplies and paint. Nicely detailed. SMALL. Worth the effort.
