Progress report on the Nike geep... I got the holes drilled for grabs and lift eyes... except I did miss one grab on the rear of the long hood. No worries, I will get it done after all the decals dry. Decals...? Oh yeah, here is a photo...

I did decide to place a swoosh on the cab roof. This brings the swoosh count to 7. The printer only put 2 swooshes per decal set, I asked for 4 per set. So it would have taken 2 sets to do one unit, but now it takes 4 sets.
Good thing I have plenty of extras.
As mentioned before, the location of the swoosh on the roof is at best a rough guess. The one on the battery box and the one on the nose are known and correct. The one on the long hood end is, again, a best guess. Such are the compromises one makes when no photos can be found of your subject.

Will post more photos after I decal the engineer's side.
Also, at this point I am satisfied that the decals are correct to the best of my ability. I am ready to send off decals to those of that are interested. I have enough for 5 folks. GEC, Tom, and Mike are already getting sets. Anybody else interested? PM Me, these are free to you.
