I HATE DUST!

this time, i literally sprayed the model, and put it in the box. i go for the second spray, and sure enough, dust and hairs on the model. it wasn't out for more than 5 minutes! and this chrome paint is unforgiving. I wonder if its always been that bad, but you can't see the dust on my E44 models!

If not for the fact that this chrome paint is sensitive, i'd almost rather be painting that last E44A. I need a spray booth or something.

however, the finish still isn't so bad as the Arrow III, and I suspect i can get away with this model.

here is a protoype showing just how SHINY the actual thing is. Its counterintuitive in model railroading, since the desire is to "dullcote" just about everything. Not how it works with modern commuter equipment, and this stuff is reaching 7-8 years of age in this 1982 photo in Reading Terminal. the photo is from a cool site, worth checking out if you're into philly things.
