How accurate is the version of BN's paint scheme is this?

It was a good looking paint scheme, but I never got to see it in person.

With no real pic to look at at the moment i would have to say it is a very good looking model of BN's SD60M 1991 painted for desert storm.

Paint scheme looks pretty OK, but what loco have they put it on? From the trucks their model is an SD70M or SD70MAC? BN1991 was an SD60M.

AHHHH the best looking engine ever painted(in my eyes anyway).Looks like you got it pretty close.

The model is an O gauge 3 rail hybrid. MTH has the SD60M shell right, but seems to have put the SD70M trucks under it. MTH takes the easy way out for most of their models and this is a classic example. I didn't notice the trucks till you pointed them out. I wasn't serious about getting it and now even less so. MTH has been known to correct those kinds of problems between catalogs and product delivery.
