Re: [CBQ] More on Ne-12 Waycars

A question for those of you who have used the Bachmann body as the basis
for modeling the NE-12.  Is the roofwalk an integral part of the roof, or
is it glued onto the roof?  I would like to replace it, but am trying to
figure out how to best remove it.  If it is glued on, I'm hoping it can be
pried/cut off with a chisel blade rather than having to file it off if it
is part of the roof molding.  I don't see a gap at all between the roof
walk and the roof, but am hoping it may just be hidden by the thick coat of
paint.
