Awhile back, I was given a Walthers B40-8 painted in the BNSF Heritage 1 scheme. I've decided that the model isn't detailed anough however, and would like to detail it, I'd also like to repaint it for a different roadname, since it is not accurate as a BNSF B40-8 (headlight is in the wrong spot, paint isnt correct.) What I'd really like to do is scrap the Walthers shell, and get a Rail Power one, however, Im not sure if Rail Power Shells will fit on Walther's frames. Anyone know if this would work? If that is not an option, I'll have to strip the paint off the Walthers shell, I've heard that Isopropyl Alcohol works well on some commercial paint jobs, anyone know how it'll do on a Walthers shell? Lastly, Im not happy with the truck sideframs on this model. I'd like to replace them with different ones, but dont know if that is possible. Any suggestions? Thanks! CS
