Will soon be starting on the Metcalfe 00 PO233 Signal Box for my LMR layout circa '59.
The kit is a reasonable approximation of what I need - apart from the green colour scheme for the steps, corners and window valances - which I think should be a Maroon for my period....
Will acrylic paint work on these parts, suitably primed and in thin coats ?

Could I suggest a light coat (or two?) of matt varnish to seal, followed by a light coat of white or grey primer then you r maroon top coat?

This Signature Left Intentionally Blank, but since I have written this and I intended to do it, this Signature is intentionally not blank. Paradox or What?
