It's a great looking model, but the radiator inlet grills are wrong. They should be long and short combo.
Regards, Bobby

You are absolutely correct. I just approached this form the "hit the big stuff and the let the rest go" aspect. Not saying it's not important but trying to scenic a layout, build buildings, cars, etc., I have to kinda choose my battles and divide my "hobby time" over a broader area.

Jason that is looking sweet. I like the weathering, not to much but just enough to make it look used. What did you do to create that effect across the bottom?

Anthony, that my friend is a trial and error process that fortunately workout out relatively well. I started with a very thin coat of Floquil rail brown to give the fuel tank and trucks some "teeth" from gripping the other mediums. After that dried, I would put random (and tiny) dabs for Burnt Umber Raw Umber, Burnt Sienna on the trucks. I would them place a drop of water on the dad and let it flow wherever it wanted to go. This allowed it to look natural and not manmade. The important part is working in small areas. First because you do't want you "dabs" drying up before you can thin it and it you cant accidentally make everything look the same. I say that because when I work on large areas, I inadvertently mke everything look the same with little to no contrast.

I think you did a nice job of capturing the look of this unit.
