My new rake of GWR Mica Bs

Here are some pictures of my latest models.

They are some GWR Mica B meat wagons. I made them up from some old Dubblo wagons I've purchased recently off eBay.
I have about 5 or 6 more to make up.
I'm not sure but I believe the prototypes had a large red "GW" on each side. Could somebody who has access to a reference manual on the subject let me know for sure? I would rather I didn't have to paint them as I don't really trust my painting skills.
I was thinking of making a screen printing type cutout and spraying them rather than actually painting them. I could paint them fairly fine to weather them a little as I don't think they would stay crisp white and red for very long.

Interesting set of shots. Thanks for posting.

Should be able to get transfers from the UK for the wagons. Don't know what colour the lettering should be.

Best wishes,

John H-T.
