    The truecolorpaint is a pretty close match. The closest I have seen.

    Today I added the wipers, wind deflectors, plow and MU hoses, and MV jewels in the nose light. Just need to do the class lights and some weathering and she'll be done. :)

    Sorry so long getting back on this....working alot and trying to go through photos to see if I took any of that step....but I didnt. Basically though, I just took a flat thin file and started filing the 'point' of the nose at the top and worked my way down, test fitting the nose light along the way till it looked right. Then glued it in place. Thats it! :)

    They turned out beautiful, Jerry! Makes me want to update mine.

    What a crazy cluster of horns! Is that a Sunrise part?

    Yes, thats the Sunrise 5 chime. I have about 6 left and plan on using them for 3 UBoats, 2 Bi-Centennial GP40's, and the last....I am not sure! LOL Pretty hard to find them any more. Hoping BLMA will do that style. If not, I may cast some of my own with the last one. :)

    The Sunrise are great, hoping BLMA does some soon...

    It was recommended to me once, the SD26/35 5 chime horns available from Atlas parts website is a good substitute
