Hornby 4472 1980’s period

[Wolf27]

I have an NRM edition of 4472, with smoke deflectors and double chimney. I want to backdate it to 1980’s style and so far I have identified the following alterations. 
 

Replace double chimney with single-I have a nice brass one from a previous A3 reworking

 

Remove air pipes and fit vac pipe to front buffer beam

 

remove/replace OHL flashes

 

is there anything else? 
 

I have to fit a new dome as this one went missing a long time ago and I never found it. I’ll chop out one from a GBL static A3 as it looks the same.

New Handrails for the Smokebox. The Bufferbeam looks like its bent downwards. Fill the Smokebox mounting holes for the Smoke Deflectors.

Thanks, forgot to mention extending the handrails and the holes.I think the bufferbeam is ok, may be just the buffer heads drooping but I’ll check it later.

Depending on when in the 80s you want to model it, the tender varied. Until about mid-1982 the tender back still had the cut outs around the corridor connection, from when it was used behind an A4 in the 1948 exchanges.

 

 

For the next couple of years it ran with 4498's tender, complete with cast LNER on the side.

Then by the time it went to Australia it was fitted with its original tender but with the top corners reinstated.
