PFE "Super giant" R-70-2 reefers

[modelsof1900]

Exactly one year ago I presented the first of PFE R-70-2 reefer models here in Big Blue, see this Weekly report.

This was the answer of Charlie B.

Bernhard, your friend should not only be satisfied, he should be overwhelmed.
...

Thanks Charlie, however my friend was not absolutely satisfied! And today I can understand his objection.
He was not lucky with this footboard for the brakeman, a small plastic part that was delivered with the kit of Sunshine models and two small other things which must be changed. Please compare these two pictures - old and new!





I think that he was right with his wish! I replaced the raw plastic parts by steps made from a hard cardboard which were drawn and laser cut by a professional model builder. This is the complete board or that what is leftover in moment.



Today I would like to show you the next models of this series, all built with the modifications as shown and written before.





In next year I will build the last three models of these PFE "super-giant" reefers and then everything should be done for my friend - maybe until a new question for building some models to him.
