Completed two box car projects.First up is 18066 from class XMwa.The unit started out as an undec.Intermountain kit.The car itself is not prototypical,welded not riveted.The doors are Branchline offerings.I did not realize until after I applied the paint that I used 6 panel doors instead of seven.Seeing that the RDG had 6 panel doors on classes XMa,XMc and other classes I decided I could live with it.
The model was painted with SCII RDG green and decals were from the RDG Modeler.The aci decal is from Microscale. Left side.  Right side.  After some weathering.   |
