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.
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.
You can find a complete gallery of this project on my website with captions in English.
