I estimate it'd take me around 5 to 6 hours of work to complete the job and that works out to relatively low hourly rate. I've done a decent job repainting an old Bachmann F9 they insisted on selling in BN paint with the old silver roof and an SDP40 Athearn offered in C&NW paint for some unfathomable reason. I can't guarantee a job quite as clean as the model making companies produce these days, but it'd at least have relatively clean lines. It's all about masking, and using actual acyrlic paints. Just about the worst thing you can do to an injection molded plastic model is to draw on it with a permanent marker.But then if you're going to try to kitbash why start with a painted model? You're never going to match the colors Walthers used originally, so all you're going to end up with is a mess. In short what was so wrong about having good looking Comet II cab car if you're unwilling to do the proper work to have a decent looking Comet III cab car? You can't exactly expect everyone to tell you how great your model is when you went out of your way to ruin them. |
