I'll need to dull the finish down and give it some weathering and a 1943 Tennesssee license plate...Lee, It is perfect for your layout! Really nice!!
Thanks, Mark!
I wish it should have been just a little bit older, though, as a 1941 civilian vehicles would have been really rare in that part of Tennessee in 1943. This will get a TN plate, some dullcoat and some very light washes of grime from underneath as it wouldn't be too badly beat up after 2 years (especially since it'd be a company vehicle as no farmer could have afforded this). Heck, maybe I'll make decals for a fictional business for the doors!
Mike, this was really the only thing I bought at the show. I found a stack of "Great Model Railroad" annuals I didn't have, but over at the shop on South Tacoma Way after the show. I thought about some On30 AMS boxcars but like I told you that day, shows can get depressing for me as I just don't need anything now.
