F2287AD.jpeg Started a new project, repainting my Rapido Trains Inc. LRC to the Canada 150 scheme used by VIA Rail Canada in 2017. 

F335E9C.jpeg I disassembled the car and masked the ends and roof, then sprayed the shell with Tamiya Silver Leaf (TS-30) in a rattle can. Next I will layout and mask the large yellow VIA on both sides for painting with Trueline Paints VIA/CN yellow. 
C5CF37C.jpeg The Canada 150 decals are from Highball Graphics Decals.

WIP Update -Decals Applied

A5AE92A.jpeg I have applied the Canada 150 decals from Highball Graphics and sealed them with a semi-gloss top coat. I glazed the windows with Humbrol window clear, giving the glass a bit of a shine.
