Hi all;hope you're well.I'm getting ready to prime my kitbashed PC 424;the unique 2415.I'm hung up on a few things though:
1.I had to install the horizontal headlights on the cab as I did't have any available.Since I can't use the light bar,any suggestions for led installations?
2.I had to create a deck with holes drilled for the deckmount stanchions;I'm using Tiger Valley ones which are kinda thick and not my first choice but whatever.I also plugged the side sill holes but need to elongate the ones where the stanchions come through,like on the phase 1 c420s.Any ideas how to make those small oval ports?
3.Thinking of putting screening behind the dynamic brake and air intakes.What would you use for that?I thought thin ho scale fencing,like from Plastruct,or maybe the screening from the bowser U25b.
4.Lastly,was there a sand fill on the long hood?In later photos as Green Bay and Western 319 there appeared to be a sand hatch above the grab irons and 2 access doors between the number boxes.
The beast looks really good considering how long it sat there waitning for parts and me to get around to it.I am going to light those 6 rear classlights,I even drilled them out on the first shot and they came straight and true.The lighting will be a question on this board in the future!!
As always,thank you people for your help;i'll post some shots soon.
