At last, someone modelling Leeds trams in the correct liveries. As someone who was born in Leeds and travelled on trams from an early age (born 1941) it annoys me to see the trams wrongly coloured.
Thanks very much. To save the honor of many hobbyists, I have to say that after so many years it is difficult to find the right colors (even old color photos are not necessarily a help). There can be a significant difference between a newly painted car and one that shows signs of age. Over the decades there have been several color variants and some experimental designs. Artificial light, sunlight and shadow, the model will show 3 different shades. Matching the right color is a difficult area. But of course it's true, there are hobbyists with different skills.
