This is an Atlas Dash 8-40B that I purchased undecorated off of ebay. I am modeling modern day Norfolk Southern. With the absorbtion of their share of Conrail, they aquired all of the Conrail Dash 8-40B's. There weren't many of them, and most still wear their Conrail colors with NS patches. I thought this would be an interesting model to have on my layout. <br /> <br />It is painted with Polly Scale Conrail blue with an airbrush. I applied the decals (I forgot one on the nose, easy fix), and made the handrails on the nose (I wish I could do that over again). The details were painted with Model Master aluminum, Testors enamel, or Polly Scale as needed. Weathering is Polly Scale dirt applied with an airbrush, and the sooty black is artist pastel chalks. <br /> <br />All in all, I think it looks pretty decent for my first attempt. I hope you like it, let me know what you think. <br /> <br />Glenn <br /> <br />[IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/phatpony/100_0450.jpg[/IMG] <br />[IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/phatpony/100_0448.jpg[/IMG] <br />[IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/phatpony/100_0447.jpg[/IMG] <br />[IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/phatpony/100_0446.jpg[/IMG]
