It may be correct?!?   Some of the Chinese Red hoppers seem to have been black for sure.   The photo in Spoor’s color guide of a red triple like the BLI hopper in ‘68 looks to me to have a red bottom.   It might be instructive to look at Accurail’s models and see how they painted theirs.   Accurail is a CB&Q friendly company and theirs may be correct.   

Just as an aside, this model wasn’t needed.  I’d be somewhat pleased if it was diecast metal but the Accurail and Bowser / Stewart models are fine in my opinion.

Is that black underbody correct?
