Glen's diesel rebuild thread

[cnrglen]

I finished decaling the FA-2 today:

I first masked the shell and painted the ladders and pilot black, then sprayed everything in Glosscote so that the decals would adhere better. I used a set of Canadian Pacific Cab locomotive decals from Black Cat. They are fairly thin and fragile so patience is required.

I think the hardest part were the three stripes on the nose. On other manufacturers set that come as one decal, on these they come as three separate decals that are too long and have to be cut and spliced together.

I resprayed the engine in dulcote. There's a bit of touch up on the paint I have to do but it's pretty much finished up to adding some details and the window glass.

one last thing I did today was to spray the grabs from the red CP shell in primer, I'll paint them yellow next and install them.
