N scale SP Kato Dash 9 UP patch job

This is a display of how effective a few hours of effort can be with little more than paint and decals to a basic out of the box model. Only added detail, sunshades. Weathering is quite subjective even when modeling a real world example as all engines get to worn out looking by a long process of daily usage. Wearing the UP patches you have a benchmark date to work with which requires a certain amount of age to look correct. From there it is all up to the individual and what you like.
