Hi! These are two models of RFFSA SD40-2. RFFSA was a state owned railroad that existed in Brazil from 1957 to 1999. These locomotives were bought in the 70s from Macosa (Spain), an EMD licensee, and were mainly used to haul iron ore and coal trains. They had two painting schemes: red with yellow stripes (Phase I) anb yellow/gray with black stripes (Phase II).
Models were bought already painted by another modelrailroader, but with poor detailing and incorrect lettering. As an intermediate level detailing project I performed a "general overhaul", correcting inscriptions, adding and correcting detailing items guided by prototype photos and enhancing weathering.
I hope you enjoy it.
