I just built my Metroliner. Fun!

But I'm not so sure I like that black nose, what is the general feeling
on this?

Should my <-> company paint (Change out) the black nose for a more
conventional gray?

For those who haven't seen one with a grey nose, Paul B kindly lent me 2
of his
grey noses, and I took a side-by-side shot. I think I still prefer the black,
but I'm not sure yet...

I prefer grey, hands down. It's prototypical and black isn't. Somewhere in
my defunct voyager site are grey nose jobs I did in 1998... (rummages) ah
yes....

Man, that site needs to be overhauled. Embarassingly poor quality pics and a
lot of the models are way way non state of the art for nowadays.
