GI Joe Engine (Part 2)

The engine was hard to disassemble. There are 4 screws and the couplers holding the chassis on the body of the engine. Once the chassis is off there are 8 tabs holding the body together. I had to use multiple small screw drives to get the body disassembled. Took close to an hour to get everything apart.

Next I washed and cleaned the parts in warm soapy water. This will remove any oil or grease and give the paint a clean surface. I use an olive drab color on the engine. I only painted the yellow portion of the shell. I sprayed multiple lite coats, and making sure all the areas that will be seen was covered and now yellow showing.

I let the paint dry for a around 12 hours before reassembling the locomotive. Reassembling was much easier the taking it apart.
