Adding handrails to GP7

[Green_Elite_Cab]

Another question: Is it best to paint the handrails & stanchions black before attaching them to the locomotive or after? I would think before, but just thought I'd check. Thanks again!

I Guess you could paint them first, Every time i've ever used them, the model was unpainted and the handrails were the same color as the body. if you were upgrading an already painted model, I'd say paint them first if possible, so you don't risk your existing model. If you're starting from scratch, its better in my opinion to just install them without painting, and get it all with one sweep of the airbrush (or whatever you use). you can use a microbrush (common at many hobby shops) to paint the other color typical of the ends.
