Nice! I did the modern green / yellow noodle CV on the Britkits model. Tried but could never get the GT schemes looking good.

Yes! I'm planning on repainting those because the NYC unit is long hood forward which a lot of CV geeps were.


It's very painter friendly model. Send Michael a pm and he will send you the layered psp files. Great work by the way.

There is a GP7 in the CN green in the library. Not the newest model, but I think I got the paint fairly close.

Does anyone know how to make repaints look a bit less shiny? They seem to be a little too reflectant. I am using gimp to do the repainting.

Open the file there and apply about a 85% black alpha and see if that works. If not make it darker.

For the D&H interchange in New York state, just below the Canadian border. I couldn't find any information indicating that the D&H actually owned any early geeps, they seemed rather exclusive to Alcos, but it was a fun rainy day project nevertheless.
