Have one of the original releases. Not a bad kit, but some of the fits are a bit tight. Multiple exhaust configurations, have to open up the fuselage for the 12 pipe one. Mine has different decals, including a USAAC bird from Guadalcanal.

Surface and cockpit detail is impressive but is the nose armament bay door molded in bas-relief?

Nice looking kit and some very interesting decal choices, especially the Portugese Air Force. I honestly never knew they operated them.
