Bachmann GE 70 tons switcher

[faraway]

I'd like to get more info on how you apply the white and mask the body, while you're at it!

The steps I did for the first five shells and I indent to do for the next three too are as follows:

1. All over light gray primer

2. All over white with special attention on the middle area

3. Mask the white belt (That is the tricky part. The hand rails are in the way)

and put a casual cover over handrails and the part to become black.

4. All over read with special attention on the top part

The white belt masking will stay. It is used for the black part too.

5. Mask the red part

6. All over black with special attention on the bottom and the hand rails

(got a problem with the black and primer. They did not match and the black shows a chemical reaction )
7. Remove all masking tape

(has to sit for several hours until the shells can be handles save)
8. Apply decals (Again the hand rails make it difficult to do the large front decal)

9. All over semi gloss and paint some details

All paint is applied with the rattle can from the next home improvement market. They are no special model brands. The semi gloss is from a LHS intended to be used on airplane models.
