In general the review gets it right, but there is one (to me at least) disappointment on this model. Compare the prototype photo of the cab side windows, to that of the model's. The windows should be recessed and lie parallel to the length of the loco, not following the lower body profile as the Hornby model represents it. This gives the model a 'BRCW' look from the front. But how to rectify this, without damaging the excellent appearance? Very difficult is my conclusion!

The photo shows very clearly the fault in the cabside windows that irritates me, on what is otherwise a very fine model.
