Remember this from a really long time ago? I got to looking at it the other day and decided "I can do better." Here's what it looked like:  And here it is after I fixed it:  The biggest modifications were painting the yellow handrails and the sides of the cupola, but what you might not have noticed is that I stripped off ALL the weathering and redid it with powders this time instead of paint. |

Now it looks PC (politically correct, nooo Penn Central), nice improvement, esp, copula paint.

Great weathering! That is one of those models that would really benefit from wire grabs, yeah, I know, a pia. Eh. This is a club runner... from 3 feet you can't tell, especially now that I painted them. |
