Shame Revell have not done it in various coloured plastic like the original Matchbox offering.

Hi Johan, sorry I don't have a definite answer on that. That on mine is parallel to the wings.

Yeah but the engine should have an offset to the rear right

Johan van Meerloo
It was set at a 3 degrees offset to starboard to counter the yaw of the propellor vortex. This is maybe why you thought it was missformed
