Accurail 40 ft smooth sided boxcar.  This is a great little boxcar with excellent lettering.  It is an easy one night project.  I simply assembled it by the instructions, streaked some rust colored paint over the bright white letters to give it the appearance of age.  Also applied a ink and alcohol wash to the roof.  I drybrushed the roof rust colored and white after the ink was dry.  Add some road grime along the bottom and paint the wheels rust color and you are done.  A great project.  These pics show both sides of the model.
