36' reefer

The MDC 36' reefer is a good starting point for an Armour reefer. The kit above is stock except the hinges, grabs, and corner brackets have been painted black and the entire car weathered. The Armour logo is incorrectly painted. Sunshine has a kit that is totally correct with correct logo.

Richard Hendrickson had a 3 part series in Railmodel Journal in 1997 concerning 36' wood reefers and included instructions for correcting this car.
