Critter cab

The Unit Models cab is made of resin. To be honest the fit is a bit average. Unlike plastic, resin has a tendency to warp a bit over time if it's not supported. This isn't going to be a problem on the finished locomotive but several sides had to be massaged a bit to get them properly flat. A little heat from the bulb of my desk lamp helped too.

Sticking duties were handled by superglue. As it's a gap-filling variant the corners are looking pretty good.
