I bent and painted the side grabs for both engines:

Since each location was a custom bent piece I had to mark where they would go on the card I used. I sprayed them in primer and then the CN yellow.

the two shells are pretty much ready for mounting on the athearn chassis that I have. I glued the grabs in from the back using CA. Now all they're missing is the MU hoses and window glass.

Next are the chassis. they'll be getting a repaint. The F-7b shell originally came painted painted in Tuscan with the gold-painted sideframes you see here. That's definitely going to change.
