CSX F40PH Nscale Build

[Herc Driver]

Added the snow plows today. Still waiting for the a/c units to arrive. And, I've got to fill those oval road number holes then add the numerals. (Still wondering the best way to go to fill those holes with a white background to apply the numerals to.) And finally, clean up that dreaded yellow bottom stripe so I can take some descent close-up shots. The second unit was painted better than the first...both in technique and in execution. (I learned from my mistakes on the first unit.) But right now, it needs more decals applied, so it hasn't been dull coated yet and is still painted glossy.









Still a lot of work to do on them...but the snow plows were a big help to improve the way the nose looks. I'm still thinking seriously of adding Zscale couplers as well. And the more I look at these close-up shots, the more I see places to touch up the paint. Honestly, from a foot away...you can't even see the defects in the paint...but the close-up shots don't lie.
