(1-2). With the sanding complete, I glued on the Hi-Tech
Details #6017 Sunshades over windows. Next I chiseled off
the existing headlights with flat X-acto blade. I saved the
headlight frames and converted them into number boards
on the front of the hood (3). You can also see the sunshades
added to the cab.
I cut up the handrails to closely match the prototype (4). I filled
in the existing hole for the diesel horn with scrap styrene and
putty, and drilled a #56 hole and added Cal-Scale #316 5-Chime
Diesel Horn to top of the hood. To be able to apply the red diag-
onal striping decal later, I sawed off the rear steps from the cab,
sanding the cab smooth. The steps will be glued on after I reat-
tach the cab to the shell.
I also installed Cal
Scale #395 Dual Lens
Headlights to the front
of the hood and rear
of the cab (5). For the
headlight cowling, I
cut off two ends from
a drinking straw and
dipped this in light
gray paint. I then used
Microscale Kristal Klear
to make the glass lens.
I attached this around
the headlights on the
front and rear.
I mounted Cal-Scale
#280 marker lights to
the front of the hood.
