Hi Pat, yes it does fit my June 1944 era, with one caveat and that is the trucks. They are ever slightly too modern as they were installed December of 1945. Following the history of the car I received

Great job Bruce. Car and paint and weathering look excellent. If there is an annual mtg in 2021 I hope to see the car in the model room. Does the car fit your era for use on your A&S? Probably on a

Bruce, FWIW, take two is looking very good and I am sure in the end it’ll look better for all your efforts . Question to you, what do you use to secure your lead weights? I’ve used super glue,
