Papertrade F-7 A&B CN Repaint

Hello!

Greetings from India!
I recently completed a repaint of F-7 by Paper trade! However, it was not very popularly received and I was wondering as to why. It's when I remembered that I forgot to post about the repaint here! How would people know about a model/repaint if no one told them.

The model in question is the Excellent F-7A & B designed by Designer Cor from PaperTrade. The build thread by Eric Zwaan is the following:

F7A Santa Fe Diesel Engine (O-scale)

The repaint is in the Canadian National livery, notably, the Canadian F-7a was constructed by GMD (General motors diesel) which later became the EMD.
The special thing about the CN F-7A is the Winterization hatch on the roof, covering the fourth radiator fan. I designed that part on my own and added it to the model. The Hatch was installed so that the hot air from the engine could be redirected back inwards in order to prevent the coolant from freezing in the icy temperatures.

The CN models are listed on the Ecardmodels Website:
1/48 F-7 A CN Railroad Paper Model – Ecardmodels.com
1/48 F-7 B CN Railroad Paper Model – Ecardmodels.com

If the model gets enough support, I plan on repainting the F-7 A&B in Union Pacific, Burlington Northern, Great Northern, and New york central liveries...

Kind Regards,
Prabal
