There is no need for me to go into any building
details. I built it OOB.

To make the black stripes on the tail hook, I
used a scrap piece of a GM&O locomotive decal. I used MM Flat Sea
Blue, Intermediate Blue, Flat White & Future.
For weathering, I dry brushed Grimmy Black for
the exhaust & oils stains, then an over all coat of a dirty mixture of Future
made by adding a few drops of Polly S engine black to the Future. Then a
final coat of MM Lusterless Lacquer Overcoat.
The stripe on the tail was not on the prototype.
I didn't realize it, till it was too late.
A big THANKS goes to Rob
Melehan & Chris Crowder for all their tips & advice that helped me in
many different areas of this kit.
