You must be referring to the one in the back Jason ------- LOL
Will be shipping it to you tomorrow, as well as the others to the rest.

I really like the semi-gloss ones that match's Kato's finish, but the flat finish I put on yours has me considering my next one ?

Since your next one will be #842, I've decided to also do me a #842 but with a black smoke stack !

Ernie,

The pictures do not do your paint jobs justice.  Here is a Kato FEF along side a series 128 Key FEF.  Beautiful work!!

Thanks Jason, glad you like it.
Now just waiting for your other one to paint as well as Philip's who's coming to the house next week to bring his over.
I did today got the two I already had painted, now ready for decals.
One is for me in #842 w/black smoke stack.



Then I got to looking at the yellow version pictures of #844 and decided I liked the black smoke stack on it better than just charcoal.
So while I was painting the others I masked it off and sprayed its stack black.



my #842 light grey lettering & stripes w/black smoke stack.



my #843 light grey lettering & stripes w/charcoal smoke stack



#842 yellow lettering & stripes w/black smoke stack for Jason in flat finish.



#843 yellow lettering & stripes w/black smoke stack in flat finish.
