I just finished another VIA F40. This one is far more accurate than the Spiderman 2 unit I did last week.
It started out as a Walthers F40PH. I replaced all the fans and added the winterization hatch, moved the horn, replaced the rear light, moved the side door and built a new fuel tank. I changed the plow and added ditch lights and new MU/HEP plugs. I also added the usual assortment of wire formed grab irons, railings and eye bolts as well as making the bug deflectors on the nose.
I painted it green and black and used decals from ORO and Microscale to finish the model. A light dusting of road grime brings out the under frame details while black soot stains along the roof line show this is a work horse engine.
Now I just need to program the decoder and see if all the lights work!
