A kind of rabbit trail here, but has anyone every conjured up an F40PH-B? I have seen it before, back in like 2006 but can't remember where. This person also made FP45 B units.

I just used patterned styrene for the door. You do great work. I was wondering what pattern styrene you used for the roll-up doors, and how you secured it? The shell fits tight enough onto the frame that I don't think I could put much thicker than .010 styrene between the shell and frame. I'm guessing the patterned styrene is thicker. Did you back the patterned styrene with thinner plain sheet? Your thoughts? Also, what air conditioner did you use for the cab roof? Jim

Jim Jim- I used Evergreen's corrugated metal siding (not exactly sure if that's what they call it-it's been a while), and it was a friction fit in the body shell, then I applied some solvent to the inside edges. If I remember correctly, it was .010" or .020", and I didn't use anything else as backing material. Once the solvent dried it wasn't gonna go anywhere. The air conditioner is a Detail Associates part-either the "Prime" or "Vapor" version, again it's been a while so I don't remember exactly but hopefully that gives you enough to work with. Thanks for the compliment, too! Let me know if you need any other info, I'm happy to help.

Dave,
I did the same thing for the side door when I modeled an NPCU, i think I used 0.020 styrene. You cant really tell the thickness at the end, so i figured the thicker would be stronger.
