As Richard has pointed out a number of times, the Tichy tank with the small dome can be placed on the Type 27 underframe to give us a fair representation of some cars built during WWII. Richard has promised for several years to do the conversion and write it up, but has apparently been trapped by mundane non-railroad activities, like putting a roof over his head (only important if it protects his trains). I am sure there are many other possibilities. What is lacking is shared information. Richard noted recently that the magazines generally don't want articles unless there is a kit to go with them, but perhaps the Hawkins-Wider CYC would be a good venue for prototype photos and thoughts on kitbashing. A possibility, Richard? Others?
Getting such an article published isn't the problem, Garth. Finding time to build the models and write the article is the problem. For almost two years, I've had hardly any time for either modeling or writing, and now that I'm back to doing some of both, the editors I work for have their own ideas about priorities.
