Problems repainting hi-end models.
Are we reaching the point where we can no longer repaint or adapt current production models? I am trying to dis-assemble an Athearn Genesis GP9 in order to convert it to another road name. The hood is glued to the walkway, trapping the cab, with its sliding windows into a single assembly. This will make it extremely awkward to repaint.
