Several pepole have asked me to keep the pics updated on this build. Rather than do so in my engine roster thread, I will do so here.

Well I cleaned off my work station (TV Table :Smile) and I am ready to start my next project. Time to start my favorites...Tunnel Motors ;D

One is an RTR (only one I have) SD45T-2. This one won't get many modes done to it, but will get the standard details added.

The second one is a BB SD40T-2 that I plan to through everything at. I am going to open the grills, replace the nose, subbase, cab, filter box, blower, filter screens, turbo, and fans with cannon parts amongst other parts.

As you can see by the stack of parts on the back of the tray I am already helping Paul with his sales this year, and I don't even have half of the parts yet.

This is the scheme for the SD40T-2

And here is for the SD45T-2

Cut out some of the parts to be replaced, blower, intakes, electrical cabnit, filter screens and nose.

Looks ugly now, but will look good once the parts arrive. Wink

Here I added the roof details and nose details to the 45.
I always like the "busy" look of the SP roofs.

Thanks guys Big Grin The 45 is about ready for paint. I think there are a few more thing I would like to do to the 40, not sure if I will or not.
