nice job. like the fact that you do the research and go for the prototype perfection, that is when you know someone has the passion for the hobby and more so the history of what they are modeling.
Loved the video Joe! Cars look great! Like you said, basically just dive into a project and learn. That’s how you will get better. I did with weathering. Have a couple Scale Trains hoppers that I did at first. Wasn’t real happy but when it’s running in a train you really don’t notice it so don’t be too hard on yourself. My work has improved. 😉
The yellow dot represents a passed inspection of a wheelset. If the wheel had been of the banned U-1 from Southern wheel company variety, the dot would be white.
Hi Joe. I really enjoy your video series! As to your question about those black boxes with the yellow dots. They were U-1 safety stencils. RMC magazine Dec 78 began a series of articles on consolidated stencils that might help clarify some of your questions if you can locate any of those back issues.
Thank you! Yes I usually spray them when I weather the car, sometimes you can’t tell in the video. I don’t remove the wheels and paint them, I’m always afraid of effecting with operation/smoothness of the wheels.

Thank you sparky and thanks for watching. Researching the different classes of cars is one of the things I enjoy.
I guess I should add that it was primarily 33" wheels that were in question, and by '82 they had ceased using the dot inspection system.
