Bi-Levels are in!!!

My 2 new Island model works MBTA bi-level cars arrived today! 1 cab and 1 coach. I plan to get more, but these things look like a nightmare to assemble

That's pretty cool, but these kits were a nightmare, I actually sold them to a willing buyer, I don't think I'll go with the "Undecorated kit" route again lol

If you want, i will custom paint and decals them for you for free if you buy more. You just have to pay for shipping and supplies.

Seriously? That would be amazing, I may order more in the future. But in the mean time, would you be willing to paint another car I have? It's a basic Rivarossi baggage car, I only need the sides and roof painted Amtrak silver. I have phase III stripes and a custom number I want to add to it. What do you think?

Thank you so much, that is a huge help! I'll send you an email in a bit and thanks for offering but I want to decal it myself

I've built kits before, I've never custom built anything before, personally I don't have the talents or tools to do so . P.S I don't know what tool time is

They are very expensive, and in my opinion the kits could be a little nicer for the money....

very true. the decal situation makes me not want to bother anymore.

Agreed, the decals come out looking messy and horrid. Next time, i'll just airbrush the colors on. Either that or I'll just try to get a bunch of horizon coaches off ebay

his decals are quality decals, they were made by microscale. My issue is he didn't keep up with the licensing so he wont include the nj transit decals even though he paid for them for the models.

Man, I must have been the only one who had such a problem with the decals ._o
