Is the red and grey the prototypical colour scheme? I
don’t know if I’ve ever seen a colour pic of the real thing
The sides need
some form of detail. I know the prototype is plain but perhaps combining grey
with bley to give the impression of dirt panels similar to as seen in your
proto pic might be worth a try?
Overall it looks right, although the
proportions maybe a little off, I recognised it from the pic
More pics

Thanks Tim,
Concerning the color scheme, I read somewhere (Can’t remember the link) that the
prototype was grey with a red trim. Now it didn’t tell me where the trim was
applied, so I asked myself, “If I were painting the engine, where would I put
the trim?”, and did a guesstimation.
