I think it came out ok. Not the look I wanted, which was the dark green, almost black, but very much the color of a weathered Reading RS-3. I added a fw things--the roof gable detail above the window, Reading RS-3s always had that, and the horn--the orignal aristo horns were drastically different from the prototype. I took off the lobster eye marker lights and added one set of steam style marker lights on the front, which was typical for Reading, and added an exhaust pipe on the engineer's side, also typical. I didn't add the brake box that Reading put on the engineer's side--I ran out of gas on it.
Paint is krylon camo green with floquil Readign yellow trim. Stan the decals came out well. Now it needs some weathering, and some hard work
The much faded prototype
