You're right Rich, SHS had a couple of problems with the UP paint scheme too...that's why I had great hopes for the MTH version. On the SHS F3 the gray "V" on the roof should have come forward another scale 6-7 feet and stop at the front of the dynamic brake panel rather than at the rear. The black fuel tank was an easy fix but the roof paint obviously is not. Never understood how that was missed.
