Album: Modeling 325

IAIS GP7 325 - Atlas GP7 with dynamics plated over, lowered rear numberboards, and new access doors under front and rear numberboards. The Atlas handrails were kind of thick, so I bent new handrails from wire and drilled out the existing stachions to accept them. Since Atlas' frame is all metal and I don't have a mill, I represented the cutaway sill above the fuel tank with paint. Not the best solution, but the model is a great runner, so I wanted to put it to good use.
