The model was decaled using MS RDG decals.Various detail parts.Strip styrene was used for the drip strips.
Weathering was done with pencil and chalks.

Finished 3611 this morning.Same materials used on this unit as on 3613.






Top view of unit.Notice the rust on the cab roof area.


This happened quite by accident.I dropped the cab and it landed roof down in a small puddle of super glue.I was able to quickly wipe it off but...so I blended it in with weathering.



3611 received the smaller diamond on the nose compared to 3613.



One thing I learned,the numbers were not applied in a uniformed way.Just as the chevrons on the 39-2's had their differences.All the pictures I had of 3611 only showed the left side of the unit,so I applied the numbers like 3613 on the right side.After viewing Vol.6 of railfanning with the Bednars with great right side shots of 3611 I see it should have been applied more so towards the rear...just an observation.

Thanks Barry...Yes they're from the latest Walther's GP 30 releases.I picked up four undecs. and two of the RDG factory paints.Should have just stuck with all undecorated,not pleased with the paint on 5504/17.
