Atlas ATSF zebra striped GP9

Has anyone acquired the latest release Atlas Santa Fe GP9 in zebra stripe?...are the cab stripes actually backwards on them, as depicted in the photos at Atlas' website?

it may be something as simple as having the cab on backwards...but the photos on their site are definitely wrong

Bruce, I suspect somebody installed the cab backwards....you're correct in that the stripes should lean forwards rather than form an arrow-like form on the side of the cab. Their other models in other scales are correct.....

Yea, the cab was installed backwards on the decorated sample. It was corrected in production. I'll get an updated photo up today. Could have sworn I fixed that before sending to the photographer!   :facepalm:

I suspected that may be the case...would like to make sure that the stripes do, indeed, 'line up' correctly...does anyone have an actual picture of their units with the cabs oriented correctly?
