I've wanted to do one of these for a while, so I got started. The walk and hatches are molded on the top, so removing them was a chore.
After you remove them you have two body halves. I replaced the top with a top from a IM cylindrical kit. Looking at the photos will explain
better than words. Thanks for looking.

Well, I finally got it painted.

Almost a shame to cover up all that beautiful work. Very nice.

Great work! I've wanted to get a couple of these in N scale and do a similar upgrade.

Great job on elevating this hopper to such a detailed example!  I like that paint scheme too.
