    There is no cockpit door. It's an emergency escape panel. Thet when opened it falls off. Anyway, it's a nice build all the same. The RAF fighters had a cemi-gloss paint appearance not because they weren't a flat finish, it was because the pilots had the ground crew wax polish them for a slight edge in speed.

    Unfortunately not even remotely comparable to Tamiya's 1/12 scale BMW R80 model. The Italeri plastics are not of excellent quality as are the couplings and the various molding marks. Furthermore, for a model enthusiast like me there are many incorrect details such as the engine block, lack of filter (the circular filter from the BMW 2002 was used). The compass and many others are missing. Many details are out of scale. Look for the unfortunately rare Tamiya model and add the various home-made details as I am doing on mine and you will have a perfect model equal to the original. Happy modeling
