Cf. Rick Kent profiles on IPMS - note presence of lower aerial under nose parallel with wing root, rear view mirror atop cockpit canopy, different position of fuselage letters (parallel with edge of cockpit canopy), lower last black band, different rear cockpit equipment (that in kit looks rather like P-51D equipment). Also, if US plane is to be made, note need to make DF loop antenna. NB wheel fairings modelled up.
