This kit is decent. Problems, 2 piece tires, and as you say so-so R-2800, BUT, 4 piece cowling? REALLY? I did build this kit as Col. Eagleston mount. Then the "M" version. Plenty of aftermarket decals for better nose art. The Trumpeter 1/32nd is better. But, just up to the D-25. After that the pit in Trumpeter's kits are failures, never upgraded. Trumpeter tires are a joke also, way below scale. Started a build yet?
I wish I had known this version comes with a pilot. I wouldn't have bothered getting the Trumpeter one in that case.
I need that one in my life.. ^^
