Nice work, Mike. I like the way you've done the warbonnet striping. The real
thing uses yellow and black striping to separate the silver and red but I
think if you're going to use just one color (which is a good choice) yellow
is the one to pick.
My standard criticism applies... it's way way way too short. Dump that wagon
plate and build a real subframe from individual pieces. That lets you make
the belly tank a proper length.
The proto pic you posted is of a full width cab unit and yours is a
conventional road switcher nose, but SF did warbonnet paint on both kinds.
Now busy it up with hatches and small details and stuff.
