I have a can of no-name el cheapo spray that's close to that...dollar store closeout stuff, but it works fine on plastic if it's prepped right. Pastels like that were popular in the '50s, so you could probably find something close searching paint chips online. For what it's worth, the bedside on that thing looks to be a slightly different green than the cab anyway. Good luck. EDIT: Also for what it's worth, a truck painted that color at one plant may not be exactly the same color as one painted at another plant. Those of us in the body biz have to deal with "variants" constantly.

I don't think anyone there could find their -------- with both hands. They are also intentionally interfering with streaming of some sites, throttling users when they claim otherwise, and there's a mega-mega-dollar lawsuit cooking as the proof is well established and documented at this point. It's kinda funny how the "big tech" players seem to think they can get away with anything because they believe they're all SO much smarter than what they see as the uneducated plebes who use their services. They're about to get some reality checks.

Day after day, it's just one dang thing after another...

Far as I can recall, I've never seen one of those kits with an engine. If you have one I'm in serious envy.

Nah. Dog freaked out.

"Snowblower, extra large" is featured below.

Eyes-on-the-prize and dancers' thighs and Lucy-in-the-skies and the hows-and-whys all help make the world go 'round.

Happy is the man whose significant other has a "mute" button.

"Enough" is not a word that can be used in the same sentence as "cherry pie".

Even the real seller sites like feePay are full of flakes, but at least there's somebody kinda riding herd on them. I would be much, much happier if I never had to deal with a human ever again. The real me.

Mine eyes have seen the glory...

Chili today, snowing tamale...

Enjoying the forum is as close as I've been to actually building a model in a pretty good while.

"Longer" is back in the lineup again, and it makes me think of a phrase that would undoubtedly bring on the wrath of the site police.

Longer I live, the shorter I seem to get.

He does look pretty calm at that.

"You have to kiss a lot of toads before you find a prince" was humorous advice for young women in the past, but lately they seem to be taking it seriously, and posting their numbers on the web for "prestige".

I appreciate your input and agree entirely. The cheapo knockoffs will only be used for appearance upgrades for heavily weathered rolling stock that will be sitting on dead-lines or staged as if waiting for repair in one of the car or loco shops, and anything equipped with them will be clearly marked on the underside. I probably have enough scale dummy couplers to use, but I'd prefer to have the staged rolling stock be at least minimally functional, and use the dummies for scrap loads and yard clutter.

Much many NOS Kadee HO-scale #5 and other couplers and parts to equip over 100 cars, for considerably under standard market prices. And enough no-name knockoffs to do 48 more... So between these and the bulk coupler lots I've been buying for the last three years, all my junk railroad rescues/rebuilds and vintage craftsman kits ought to be covered. Also snagged a vintage Roundhouse powered 2-truck Shay locomotive kit, to keep the 3-trucker company on the mining/logging shortline. Complete, about 1/2 the going online price.

Logic and rationality and facts be hanged; I'll believe and mindlessly rebleat every idiotic thing I see on the web, and don't try to confuse me with reality or actual proof.

Yeah, nothing says hardcore-gearhead like random parts "artistically" misrepresented, looking nothing like the real ones. I like this mo better...

Very nice job. I wondered what this kit would look like built by a regular human and not extensively retouched in the photos.

More is better and less is more so less is better QED.

What I expected to be an annoying PITA at my bank, after the rep I've been working with for 10 years transferred to another branch, was a piece of cake. The new person is smart, knows her job, the bank regs, and took care of everything almost instantly. It's really nice to encounter competence.
