Yesterday,
before going to bed, I took a look at my work for a last time. A small detail
was annoying me. Nothing major, but still looking wrong to me.
The problem
was the moulded on end ladders. I kept them to save me some tedious work, but
they still look wrong because they don’t
have the characteristic Canadian-style angled stirrup attached to them.
My guess
was to cut the bottom part of a Tichy ladder and fit it to the moulded on
ladder. Some trimming was required since the Tichy ladder is larger than the
one on the car, once completed, it looks quite good. I was afraid this part
would be flimsy but it is firmly cemented to the shell so no fear.
Now, only
the discerning modeller with find out the ladder have only 7 rungs and not 8,
but that’s a small price to pay to get a fairly correct car. And it's quite easy to implement.
