UP GE #1 streamlined turbine (decaling).
I'm using 3 different sets of decal sheets to finish this model.
I needed an N gauge decal sheet for the heralds and small red 'Union Pacific' lettering.
These are old decals and no longer made so I used some 'liquid decal film' as the 'lettering' was 'falling apart'.
One side done.
Black outline silver lettering, herald plus red strips top and bottom.
A lot of work putting the red strips on the engine.
Sometimes they would 'break' so just overlap the 'break' on the model.
The red is small and 'strong' enough that there is no change of 'shade' on the 'overlap'.
Red lettering on the 'stainless' steel.
Right half done.
Left side completed.
The front red stripe is suppose to be 'level' with the side stripes but due to how the manufacturer put a platform on the front I had to raise the red stripe.
Small pieces of red stripe added at the top of the door as well as along the bottom recess.
These window trims are suppose to be silver but I don't have the 'skill set' to tape them properly nor do I think my silver paint will adhere to that surface (things that manufacturers can do with great precision).
The wire 'hand holds' are, also, suppose to be silver but the silver paint was not 'sticking'.
Also, I had a 2 small spots where the brown paint 'flaked off' that I had to 're-touch'.
Being an acetone base paint I think it dries very fast and those spots may have 'gone on dry' when using the air brush.
