N&W RS-3s

Another approach that would catch all the other N&W paint schemes (or at
least make it a relatively simple process only having to apply decals)
would be having the models available in black (but painted black)
unlettered.  I unsuccessfully discussed this approach with Rapido way back
when the RS11's were first announced.  With all the fine detail,window
glass, and such painting a raw gray plastic model with the proper level of
quality could be difficult and you'd have only one shot to get it right.
(I have painted lots of brass models over the years including a stint at a
hobby shop doing so professionally)  So if Bowser  offered an unlettered
black (painted) N&W RS3 in addition to the blue lettered ones they're
offering we'd have a relatively simple path to having any of the black N&W
schemes we wanted. I will approach them with that idea.
