Con-Cor Rehab

[AirbrushNo5]

Popped this apart today…some acetate windows were off and smokestack broken…

 

[AirbrushNo5]

Another view…

 

[AirbrushNo5]

Time to paint the roof, stack, floor and walks…

 

[AirbrushNo5]

Paint it Black (Flat)…covered up the glue mark on the roof from the prior assembler/owner
Weathering is next…

 

[Rico]

Looks good so far!
Doesnt look like a con-cor tho?

 

[AirbrushNo5]

Rico…you may be absolutely correct…!
I don’t know…i picked it up on eBay where it was listed as Con-Cor but without a box..
My entire knowledge on origin is limited to the seller description…

Thanks for the info Mike…!

 

[AirbrushNo5]

Finished…

 

[Rico]

Very nice!

 

[AirbrushNo5]

Very nice!

Thanks… it was just about fixing stuff I could fix..glue crazed and broken windows…overall plastic look to the car…

Note the brake wheel on the right side of the pic…
It was cut off the sprue somewhat incautiously by the original builder…there is wedge taken out of it…
That was turned up and more visible..I cut it off and rotated it 180 so for the most part it’s behind the wheel column..

I stabbed both my thumbs simultaneously (yes it is possible) with an X-Acto while doing this

That takes talent to get both thumbs at once!

It's the little things that make the big picture.
Very nice job.

very nice photo! We have about the exact same amount of snow here in east central Minnesota. Good prototype shot for ballast and rail work as well!
