Track 2 Hobbies has provided nothing but technical data.
The goal is to have the most accurate models possible with out guessing.
Color photos are not being used a to too many variable to be accurate.
The paint color will be used from the N&W drawings with the help of Gary Rohli pointing us in that direction,
as since the society could not help in finding a paint color and does not want to discuss the subject any further
according to post here on the forum. These model are still a long way off.

Has Track 2 Hobbies been providing technical data, color pictures, etc.. to OMI in the form of historical research to help develop the engineering necessary to generate accurate reproductions. Also who is a good point of contact at Track 2.

Thanks

The paint differences have all been discussed with Brain. Both the NKP and N&W versions and all phases.
Track 2 Hobbies has been working with OMI for almost a year now, including the RS3's.
Track 2 Hobbies is looking at being the exclusive distributor of these models.

Yes, at least some if not all. I also believe the ex-NKP high hood passenger RS-36's also were painted passenger blue. Ed Painter; Narrows, VA living in AR

Didn't the ex-WAB and ex-NKP passenger GPs also get painted blue?
