KX118 Scale Model Scenery kit Jack's Hut

New release - pre-orders invited - expected June 2025. preauthkernow

Jack's Hut is a versatile, small, brick-built hut for enhancing industrial, dockside & railway scenes on your model railway layouts and diecast dioramas. Based on a small lean-to type hut at the end of Charlestown Harbour in Cornwall, it's a simple design with a million and one uses. And with its simple, sloped roof it works as both as standalone building, or as a lean-to at the side of a larger building, like Tony's Cart Shed or Wright's Lockup.

Supplied with white painted (heavily weathered) brick and plain red brick finishes, Jack's hut will fit in to pretty much any scene. Need a small weighbridge hut? This is just the job! Harbour office? You got it!

The roof features heavily weathered cement board/asbestos style corrugated roof with lots of moss, lichen and general weathering, and for a more modern touch, there's also a steel security grille supplied to fit over the door to keep the hooligans out.

The kit is supplied with laser-cut parts for ease of assembly with no additional painting or weathering required for a "Realistically Better" finish straight from the pack apart from the window, door & laserboard parts, which can be quickly and easily painted & weathered with acrylic paints.

The hut also features white painted red brick interior wall finishes with flaking paint and other dirt & grime.

Doors & window frames require painting before the kit is assembled which can be done with solvent or acrylic based paints. We used a a matt white acrylic primer for our doors and windowframes which we then dry-brushed with burnt umber, buff & slate grey artists acrylics to create a weathered wood look.

Additional detail is then added to finish the building with downspouts & bargeboards. All of which are optional so you can choose the level of detail you wish to have on your hut.
