John..that's great! I look forward to seeing what you can do with it. I was also checking around for pictures of this car. I'm not sure if this car is a foobie or what?? I cannot find any pictures of these airslides in GN blue. I can only find them in grey. As far as a proto picture goes.....I think I would try to find a car close to the color and time period of this car and the same kind of products it hauled. Then go from there with your weathering. I know it sounds like a lot of work but in the end you will be a lot happier with the results. I cannot emphasize enough how much you need a proto picture to weather from. Everyone thinks you can just do it from your memory or how you think it should look. It doesn't work that way to make a believable realistic model.

Good luck my friend!! Hope it works out for you!
