Correct incorrect A4 lining
Just had a look in on Hattons site and Bachmann have produced 'Class A4 No. 60019 'Bittern' in late BR livery with the correct incorrect parabolic curve lining, applied at its final BR shopping. Bachmann clearly pays attention to photos.

Re: Correct incorrect A4 lining
Isn't the Bachmann "parabolic" curve somewhat adrift "as standard" on all of thier A4s anyway?

Re: Correct incorrect A4 lining
I've just looked in the Bachmann 2007 catalogue and you're right. However, the curve on the Bachmann 'Bittern' differs from previous efforts, being a large curve that dissapears into the 'splasher'. Trouble is, Bachmann have added a horizontal piece of lining for good measure, which I don't think was there on the full size machine. If anyone has pictures looking down on Bittern after its final BR repaint this might solve the mystery.Isn't the Bachmann "parabolic" curve somewhat adrift "as standard" on all of thier A4s anyway?

Re: Correct incorrect A4 lining
I have the model in front of me as I speak, and don't actually understand the curve, as I'm too young to have seen them all!
But one question, all the boiler bands are lined, except for the last one, nearest the cab, is this right too?
