Sierra Diesels #40 and #42

I am in the process of detailing the Athearn Blue Box Baldwin S-12 shells for #40 and #42.  I painted the shells using Testors spray paint.  I painted the hood body yellow and I painted the cab, side frames and walkways red.  I used blue painters tape to mask the different areas between painting the two colors.

 

 Once the masking tape was applied, I painted the shells.

After the yellow paint dried, I masked the shell off hiding the yellow portion of the body and sprayed the shell red.

Here are the two shells after they were done being painted.

The next step will be to apply the Mini Rail Sierra Railroad decal sets that I recently purchased on eBay.
