I had a chance to talk to P2K about the stripes on the doors at Trainfest.
He thought I was amusing. He suggested, DUH, paint the doors Black. The sad
part is he is a Q modeler. Ray you are absolutely right, all the books, all
the members, all the Bulletins and nobody asks the most informed to
"proofread" thier work. I laugh.
I think a correctly modeled anything would sell more units than a poorly
done whatever. Especially if you are selling prototype accuracy.
