I don’t think the stripes are painted on, I th8nk they are rubber stamped on which is why it doesn’t go into the crack or around the features. I don’t consider that to be a big deal especially if looking at the first photo.

I agree. This is nothing that can't be fixed with a zero brush and some testors paint. The paint passes the two foot rule for sure. thumb . Also note this loco is a RAILKING scale loco as opposed to a Premier loco. For what you paid and the features you got on this loco, you received a bargain! I have the Bloody Nose version of this loco from two years ago and I am happy with it, squashed fuel tank and detail imperfections et al.

I can see why your dealer will sell out of this item easily. IT's your choice but IF you let it go you may have second thoughts!
