Images of the RDC-3 Phase 2 show this model available in PGE with corrugated cab fronts and doors but not the MKT model.

The MKT only had one and this was corrugated as the PGE. It also had red lettering. ( Rock Island also had some corrugated as well as plain).

Does anyone have any professional contact with Rapido who could suggest this prototypical change before it's too late?

Many thanks

You know, this would be a good addition to the rivet decal product line.  Resin printed prototype corrugation rows to apply to model surfaces after cutting to length, or width for that matter.

Various cross sections could be printed...

I'm not sure how Rapido made this mistake.

MKT 20 is included on the Rapido website and you can clearly see the corrugated ends, even in side profile. https://rapidotrains.com/budd-rdc-master-class Scroll down to the RDC-2 section.
The fabric of reality has begun to fray.

Are they being delivered now? If not LET THEM KNOW!!! They've addressed stuff like this in the past.

The prototype photo in the Masterclass is correct but the latest artwork for ordering shows it plain not corrugated.......🤔

Fingers crossed.
