Rusty you're right......they were the Highliner kits. I think Paul Lubliner or something similar to that last name was the fellow who created the Highliners. Heck I get lots of stuff twisted around these days and it drives my wife nuts. Paul was the 1st guy to really get the F unit dimensions and contours correct or close to correct.
I wasn't in HO at the time so I only watched from the outside hoping someday, someone would do the same for O scale. Low and behold Pat @ P&D hobbies did it a few years later.
You know Andre, different paint scheme can make a difference on the appearance of the nose contours on F units. I've noticed that before looking through my EMD F Unit book.
After my last post I looked closely at my SHS F3 UP noses painted in Armour Yellow with anti-glare green on top and they look awful good....even knowing the windshield opening is too tall it look better to me in Armour Yellow. SHS did a remarkable job on these locos and captured the F unit appearance well.
