Redbird

[NW Modeling List]

Also just received my #521 and, like you, plan to kitbash another (GP9 body on GP20 frame). My question - what’s the best paint to match the Athearn unit? Note - please don’t debate what’s right, wrong or indifferent. I just want to have a match.

Thanks,

Dave Phelps

I was surprised that the #521 has a metallic finish on it as they did originally. I couldn’t tell that from Athearn’s artwork but it was a nice surprise.
