Lets take a closer look at 304. The model started as an undecorated Walthers Mainline GP 9 I used the walkway and long hood from a P2K shell and used the low short hood and cab from the GP9.
The model was painted using MM insignia red,BNSF orange for the railings, grabs and step edges,SCII black for the window gaskets and SCII griey black for the trucks and fuel tank which were then weathered with AIM powders.MS decals and detail parts added. Side 1   |
