Gary...If you're going to tear into the girder, I wouldn't use styrene to simulate the yellow squares-they stand out too much. You migth try something called "Monokote" tape that's used to trim R/C aircraft. It's very thin and wouldn't stand out so much. The only problem I see with this, is that the color might be a little too "loud", whereas on the p'type, it's kind of faded. I don't know if you could spray some Dullcote on it to give a lighter wash something to "bite" into...
