Looks real nice but I just can't get used to those high hood C-425's! The New Haven only had low hoods.

Guess I'm gonna go along with necro'n the thread here.
Can you let us in on the high hood and cab? Cast, 3D printed? Where'd you get them from?

In building mine, I used the cab and high hood from the Atlas C420 and shortened the hood. I wanted to use the Bowser C630 cab and hood but they didn't play well with the Atlas C425 base model.

They are mostly Bowser C-630 parts. The shell is still available from Bowser.  |

Just re-started mine with parts from the Atlas parts bin..... Shortened Atlas C420 nose and HH cab with steps from a C424 Ph. III cab, all on a C425 Ph. II body and sill. Still need to mess with the fuel tank, pilots, remove doors from short hood, etc.  |
