This is simply a comparative model, where the structure with the missing 
residues is your template. So you'd verify the structure in the same way 
as any other comparative model, e.g. using an assessment method such as 
normalized DOPE.

If the correct sequence is available in the SEQRES records, you should 
probably use that in your model.
