Despite Enhorning's designation of F-7 and even F-9 in later years, the
shell still replicates a phase IV F-3, low 36" fans, two dynamic brake screens
(or just marked screen outlines, no screen detail) However, close scrutiny
reveals, in addition to the E-8 style flat integral number boards, sand filler
hatches on the cab end in the lower E unit location. (I noticed this after Gale
Hall pointed it out.) It also was in the wrong location for the striping my
road uses, so I got some resin replacements from Gale and relocated them up a
bit higher where they should be.
I did my first one years before SHS, BTS or anyone else had 36" "cap top"
fans. I used HO scale Details West 48" fans which scale out to the 36" of S,
but are not see through, only solid castings but well detailed.
