Let us help you get started . . .
If you've already got a HO scale EMD SD70ACe Locomotive which you want to transform into the 4141, we've taken some of the guesswork out of the process by compiling a set of high-quality acrylic paints from Acrylicos Vallejo to accurately capture the unique color scheme of the 4141 and Air Force One. The Micro-Mark team has also created a custom set of ready-to-use, full-color, water-slide decals replicating the 4141's distinctive lettering and flag graphics, plus custom-made dry transfers for the cab and number board numerals to get you even further to a finished masterpiece. Of course, you do not have to purchase our kit to win . . . we just want to help you get started!
#88611K Bush Contest Paint and Decal Kit by Micro-Mark includes 1 set of water-slide decals, 1 set of dry transfers, set of 6 Acrylicos Vallejo paints (approx. 1 half-ounce bottle each dark blue, light blue and gold; 2 half-ounce bottles each white and silver; 2 ounces white primer), and 1 blank sheet of clear inkjet decal paper for additional detailing.
