Is the window glazing permanently installed? Man, I'd go around the inside of the gaskets with a sharpie marker--it'll take a great model to the next level.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the compliments.
To answer some questions first the cab windows are the stock KATO with the gap for engineers windsheild filled in with Model Masters or Testors window maker.
Originally I had painted the inside of the window gaskets black, but I did not like the way it looked. To me the window frames look we too deep.
As for the Ann Arbor units they are completed. I just need to get off my lazy butt and post thread with the photos of those engines.

Erik,
Not much of an SP fan, but very nice modeling. Should look awesome with some weathering!
Curious who you are doing the FinF AA units for in the background. How about sharing some shots of those models. Are the RS-2's protos? I bought a pair of them to make into 301/303.
What decals are you using for them?
Regards,
Brian

Hi Brian,
Yes the AA are proto RS 2's. I used the Microscale Ferry in the fog decals.
I will try to get some photos posted either tonight or tomorrow. I plan on selling them, they were for a customer who decided that he was going to change scales. So now I need to find homes for them.

Would you seperate or are you selling the pair together? |
