I have made quite good progress since last update. I have painted all castings and redesigned the awnings. The awnings included with the kit are red/white and green/white. They are not exactly what I need. Creating new ones isn't very hard to do now that I know how to combine lines and arches into closed shapes in Adobe Illustrator. All it takes to create new awning is to scan original, load image in TurboCAD, create drawing by tracing over image, import drawing in AI, color the awnings and export them as PDF file. I possibly could have used color replacement tool in some image editing software but I like quality vector graphics produce.
Over all no big surprises other than cutting front billboard ends without measuring just because I had to cut ends of wrong one previously and finding out that I didn't need to. I ended up cutting pieces from wrong billboard and gluing to the good one. Fix isn't noticeable since I cut off about 1/16" which matches thickness of side billboards.
