Microscale TP-23 (trim film CR blue) arrived and the patching could be done. I thought about a phantasy RR but LLPX might be a nice alternative. They have most engines in CR blue, some with white short hood, some with black roof but many in plain CR blue. They do not have any old GP9 on their roster. May be they got some with a residual book value of $1 for a special low cost offering in SoCal.

ps. All envelops from Microscale had in the past a label German customs office at Frankfurt or Leipzig airport. This one had a label from Hamburg "seaport" customs office. I assume USPS put my envelop by mistake on a ship and not on a plain. That would explain the very long shipping time as the USPS start stamp is correct in earls April. International shipping is still an adventure :o
