Does anyone know the proper colors for contemporary Iowa Interstate? I am thinking of repainting an sd70ACE to be IAIS, but I am not sure which paints to buy (ie. what does polyscale or badger call the colors)? Thanks all!
I painted a Life Like GP38-2 in these colors and I used Polly Scale Engine Black, Reefer Yellow and Caboose Red. Still need to get decals on it, I painted it just before I moved.
Hi, may it helps :take a look at the unofficial iais side under modelling / painting Unofficial Iowa Interstate Photo Archive and Railfan Guide | Painting
The Microscale decals have the red striping. Here is a link to the decal sheet. You would only need to paint the shell black and yellow...everything else is a decal. http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2...ode=60-551&Category_Code=IAIS&Product_Count=4
Yes 60-551 includes the the center stripe, thanks for the link Chuck. Nice to know Chuck has them cause getting decals in N is getting harder. If you want to paint one, do it now, these will be discontinued when Microscale runs out. I always liked the Iowa Interstate, got some good pictures of them, need to upload them. Thanks Hemi, you should check out the CB&Q GP40 thread.
