Unfortunatly it also exposes how much LEGO missed the mark with the BNSF
model.

How so? i think the cab’s too small but given the amount of selective
compression needed, I think they did quite well overall.

I just would have been nice if ALL the hidden parts had been dk green, I already
have orange and black. I was also dissapointed the jumper plates are black and
not dk green. As for the build, I like the 4 stud cab, as it keeps it to scale
with the rest of the model. But the cooling bump would look better as 3 studs,
not 4.
I’m more irritated that there’s no grill above the cooling bump an the left
side. And it would have been nice to use tiles on the back of the long hood, and
one on the foof for the AC unit. But it really could use an increase of height
for the long hood by at least 1 plate.

And untill they release more dark green, I’m stuck with it.

No changes you can make at all?

OK I overstated a bit. I started reworking it last night. My first goal is to
tweek it to match prototype a bit better, useing only the dk green from the one
kit. I’d like to increase the orange height on the long hood by one plate, and
hopefully the overall length by 2 studs. I’ll also increase the steps to 2 wide
enstead of 1.
I have a second unopened kit, so I may try something more extensive later.
