8750 Class - 9681 - Late Crest Preto

I've recently received my pannier and I'm very impressed with all aspects of the model.

Very good quality model, prehaps not as glossy as the real engine at the Forest of Dean.
Only problem was the courier dpd who couldn't deliver to my home even after 6 attempts. It was finally left in an obscure delivery box. The outer packing was open, and the model box buckled

After purchasing D6703,D5549 and D423 which are magnificent runners the GWR pannier was a must and I was not disappointed
Perfect detail

Lovely model that lived up to expectations. The only downside was the pinitially oor running which took some time to sort out . After much running in it became clear that the problem was the wiper blade pick ups not making contact with all the wheels. Once sorted the running has been excellent, but in correcting the issue some of the underframe rodding/piping became detached and is proving very resistant to fixing

I recently received the Accurascale 8750 Class No. 9681 and I’m thoroughly impressed with the overall quality and attention to detail. The finish is exceptional, with crisp lining and accurate livery that really captures the character of the prototype. The running performance straight out of the box is smooth and reliable, and the level of detail on the cab and chassis is outstanding.

That said, there is always room for improvement. The packaging could be slightly more user-friendly for those who like to store models safely after use, and the instructions could include a little more guidance for fitting optional parts.

Overall, this is a fantastic model that demonstrates Accurascale’s commitment to quality and authenticity. I would highly recommend it to any GWR or steam-era enthusiast.

Stunning! Only word for it really. Beautifully made; such attention to detail. Worth the wait. And competitively priced for such quality.
Can’t wait for 🎅🏻 to allow me torun it on Christmas Day!

Superb model of the ubiquitous WR Pannier. Exquisite detailing above, below and inside footplate level, and runs rather nicely too. Another stunning success from Accurascale as far as I'm concerned, and goes nicely with the Manor class
