New MTH Premier 20-21524-1 (U.S. Army)--Why the glossy finish? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Anyone else order/receive this U.S. Army medical corps engine? I received mine a few days ago and discovered that it comes with a glossy OD finish. That caught me by surprise because I don't have (or recall) any U.S. Army locomotives that have a glossy finish. Kind of stands out like a sore thumb with the Army medical corps passenger cars it will be pulling. The olive drab color is fine, but it definitely should have a flat finish.

Well, that stinks Allan. Could the shell come off for some Testor’s Dullcoat?

I was thinking just what Don suggested. Too bad to have to do that to a brand new engine though.
