  • "Lehigh Valley GP-38 and GP-38-2 Painting," Scott Given. Mainline Modeler. Aug 87, 36-39
    The GP-38-2 is easy using the Athearn model in the article. The GP-38AC is more difficult since it uses an old Atlas GP-38-2 shell as a kitbash start. Good photos plus reprints of official EMD 'styling and painting' diagrams.

  • "Lehigh Valley: Modeling The GP-38 & GP-38-2, Jim Six." Mainline Modeler. Feb 87, 27-.
    The GP-38-2 is easy using the Athearn model in the article. The GP-38AC is more difficult since it uses an old Atlas GP-38-2 shell as a kitbash start. I like Jim's use of open hood doors on the GP-38AC model.
