    custom built from Agostino Palpacelli in France.
    After a long waiting period due to the bad weather in Europe I finally received my new etched detail parts so I could finish off this project, others to follow in the next couple of days...
    This is one of the few NS SD70M with flared radiators and a more square shaped cabin. The loco is my most detailed SD70 so far and started as a stock AZL UP SD70M with following major changes:
    -new cab (Phase II) square shaped, but still with "teardrop" front windows (in opposite to SD70ACe)
    -new fine detailed stainless steel see-through fan plates and fans
    -grab irons, lift rings, super detailed pilot with MU-Hoses, MU-Cable, cut lever, brake wheel (most details new design, not BLMA)
    -wipers from windscreen removed and replaced with correct 2 wipers per window
    -antennas
    -custom decals and painting, condition as new
