The Resin kit world has what are known as "mini-Kits", where resin parts are produced that can be used to change the appearance of a plastic (kit/RTR) model and change it into a different prototype.

 

National Scale Car has just announced such an offering for the creation of the B&O M55/M55A/M55B 40' 1937 ARR Boxcars.

 

Anyone interested should before purchasing download the PDF instructions to see what other parts/models are needed for these mini-Kits - for example for these the suggestion is to start with an Intermountain boxcar.
