more F-7 samples Three more of the new F-7's.

The details on the engines are exquisite! If they perform half as well as they look, these will be very popular engines. The only engine not on display was the Santa Fe with the chrome panels. Don revealed that the first test shots of the Santa Fe used two types of silver paint, one type was a buffable silver that was supposed to represent the chrome panels. He wasn't pleased with the results, so he redesigned the paint scheme to include actual chrome plates for the panels. That, of course, necessitated all new paint masks. According to Don, the Sante Fe will be the most expensive paint scheme he has created to date. From the top down, the models shown are: DRG&W, Sante Fe (freight scheme), and Pennsy.
