I masked off the yellow stripe and airbrushed the CN green

Then I unmasked. The critical part of the Masking is the space between the upper yellow and the body line above it. there has to be enough room in the green for the 'Canadian National' Logo. I painted a CN F-7 A&B set a few years ago and messed this up, making the logo run up over the rivet line.

Then I masked off the car bodies and painted the ladders and skirts black.

I also masked around and lightly sprayed the F-3's dynamic brake grills on the roof.
A couple things I forgot to mention. the ladders come separately on the Cary bodies and you have to file a relief for them on the inside of the shell. I also wanted to mention that the winter hatch on the F-7 was a brass casting from Miniatures by Eric.
