After a several year hiatus, I finely completed a project. (hopefully more to follow) This is a custom built and painted Proto 2000 Fa2 with details. It wont pass the rivet counting test, but I feel it is a decent representation of the real thing. I ended up with some imperfections in the dull coat. Hopefully I can cover those up with weathering. Details: Hand bent grab irons DA NBWs DA whip style antenna Atlas MU and air hoses, windshield wipers, and horn Custom built battery box Plano Farr grills cut to fit    |

No disappointment here, the scheme is a part of history. Looking forward to seeing what the others are like...
