Having defended ARD200 products in the past I'm struggling a bit with this one. There's something wrong with the cheatline. I thought it was the shape at first as rather than the majestic curve of the lower edge appears to be more angular on the model. However, looking at pictures of BOAC's 707-436s it seems that the model has it correct. The -336s had the curved cheatline, the -446s didn't.

However, whilst the shape of the cheatline might be right (give or take) it appears to be printed too high. It seems to be positioned between cockpit and tailplane which is where you'd think it should be but there is too much fuselage below it and not enough above. I'm actually thinking the unloved Herpa 707-436 in this livery is a better bet.
