THIS is exciting.

And I am amazed to see that the engine and cowling are off-center. I had no clue, certainly not from the Classic Airframes kits.

Surely that isn't supposed to be that way?

Yep, it sure is. Its to help offset torque. Many planes during that time offset the front of the rudder to produce the same effect. The Italians had one wing longer than the other on some of their aircraft like the MC-200 and MC-202 series to overcome this issue.
