Album: MILW 88C - F7A

Completed model. I replaced the forward-facing horn and added new cab roof grab irons, antenna w/conduit running between the windshields, cut levers, nose-top grab irons, platform beneath the engineer's window, number decals, nose lift rings, and MILW herald (the latter through the graciousness of John Greedy).

Also modified the skirts and cut in a new nose-mounted MU connection next to the headlight, per the prototype. Milwaukee orange paint was touched up on the nose lift rings and platform supports using a custom mix of Floquil Signal Red and Reefer Yellow. Fading and weathering were done with oils.
