Finished with the application of paint and decals on one of four of the recently released Proto geep 30's...unfortunately,the undecorated models do not include the smaller fuel tank found on the RDG units...I'll be contacting Walthers for the replacement parts.

I scanned this! Not a modeling project, but Rdg related for sure.. I clipped this from my grandmother's Philly yellow pages around 1970 or so...never had the guts as a teenager to CALL them but it was an awesome amount of knowledge in the pre-Internet days

Finished adding Coupler Lift Bars, Grab Irons, Lift Rings, Horn, Anti Climber Railing and Market Lights to one of my RS-3's. My wife looked at it a week or 2 ago and asked, "did you add all of the little brass pieces yourself?" Yes!
