Group, I did a little work on my M70B. First, I realized that my bolsters were off a little, so I removed them, and shifted them a bit towards the ends of the car. Next, I cut some styrene tubing to h

Group, has anyone made gutters for over the doors of their cars? I’m assuming a small piece of strip styrene would work. Any bother thoughts? Dave Wilson

Thanks for the pics, Steve!! I picked up one of the last two NKP Car Co. kits. The etched sides are beautiful. I hope I can turn mine into as nice of as a model as yours. Dave Wilson
