Fitting your Mk2 Coaches with Curtains
Take your new Accurascale Mk2 coaches to a whole new level of realism!
Using the simple guide below, we'll show you how to quickly and easily install the supplied curtains to your coaches for maximum results, all you'll need is some glue and a craft knife!
Step one: Unclip the body via four clips, two located on each side just next to the bogies. Their location is indicated in the following two photos.
Step two: Find the plastic sheet with printed curtains from inside the carriage box. Then cut the curtains out of the acetate sheet using a craft knife or scissors, cutting down the black lines on each side of the curtains.
Step three: Once you have prepared the curtains, test fit before adding the glue to make sure they fit where you'd like to position them. Once happy spread a thin line of PVA or similar glue along the edges.
Step four: Place the curtain section over the desired window and firmly press and hold with a finger. After a few seconds, the glue should be tacky enough to hold the curtain in place.
Step five: Turn the body over and check that the curtains are straight with no glue is visible on the window.
Fit the curtains to one side of the coach and allow to dry. Apply the other side and allow to dry. Once happy, let the glue dry overnight before reassembly.
Once both sides are fully dry you can clip the body back in place and enjoy.
