jjsmith OFFLINE Apprentice Posts: 3	Dear group, I recently purchased a C424 from Atlas and realize that it is not up to my accuracy standards. So I have a couple questions. 1. What is the correct horn? 2. Do you have any ideas about making the pilots right. They need foot boards. 3. Any ideas about the fuel tank? Part descriptions would be appreciated. Thanks. Jeff Smith

tomjacobs OFFLINE Superintendent Posts: 177 Thank you received: 37	Also, there is an article by Alan Mende in a far-back issue of Model Railroader about accurately modeling Reading C424s, addressing everything you noted - fuel tank, pilots, etc. Can't recall the date, but it's a good article.
