We've taken the very first kit we released just over 10 years ago and completely rebuilt it from the ground up, using all of the new materials we have access to, and the techniques we've developed over the years. Now with layered laser cut windows, brand-new, hand-rendered photorealistic wall textures and pre-weathered roof slates, the KX120-OO Victorian Ale House/Country Pub kit in OO scale will be a real talking point on your layout. This is a kit for the real enthusiast that loves the experience of building kits to detail their layouts.
Based on the real Red River Inn in Gwithian Cornwall, we've stayed as faithful as we can to the original while making it an enjoyable build. The pub complex is supplied as three individual buildings: main pub, annex and village shop, which can be positioned as per the real thing (see arrangement in the photos above), or separately on your layout in any arrangement to suit the space available.
The window fitments now use an easy-fit method to install them, making them much quicker to assemble while still giving you the appearance of real wooden sash windows. All the windows are glazed (acetate supplied) allowing you to detail the interior should you wish.
The doors on all of the buildings can be posed open, closed or anywhere in between, and feature engraved, layered detail. There's also a selection of wall and door signage to add that extra finishing touch, including a pavement board advertising home-cooked food.
Also included is a selection of drains and cellar doors to add further detail if required.
A Kit For More Experienced Modellers
While most of the aspects of this kit are straightforward, we would only recommend this kit if you have prior experience of building our kits, do to the number of small parts. Some trimming and adjustments may also be needed during the application of the roof slates etc. due to material tolerances and your preferred method of construction.
Spare slates and windows are also included, just in case you need them!
