@Ed Kapuscinski will tell you vodka - especially really cheap vodka - is a great weathering medium.  Having seen the outcome of this method, I tend to agree.

What did Julia Childs say?  "I love to cook with wine, and sometimes I even put it in the food"?

Ed, I feel your pain. I am strongly considering the two Rock Island GP 40-2s. Yum, geeps.

Why do they have to be politically correct?

Does the weathering method require drinking the Vodka or using it as an alcohol solution for the weathering agent?

Hopefully, one of the units was the red C version?  I always liked that adaptation.

I like PC units too.  Makes painting them for real roads easier as they are already primed black :trollface:
Can't model worth a darn, but can research like an SOB.

Nope. I went with the vanilla worms.

One of these days I'll get something with a red or orange variation, but you know me, I like to model the boring stuff.

But why did I want them? Cause of lashups like this.
