Its all good. I have had TF ARFs before, and didn't like the discrepancies. I actually like both the Spitfire and FW190. On both, I would fix the minor issues like dihedral when I assembled them. the spinner size on the Mustang and to a lesser degree, the P-40 drives me crazy.
Honestly, If I ran across the right deal, I would buy the Spit, 190, or P40 if I was in the Market for quick-fly ARF. Still bothers me that the manufactures can't get the simple stuff right. I do post these small issues in hopes that the manufacturers see them and listen.
Hangar 9's new Corsair seems to be pretty close to scale, albeit mucho $$$.
My biggest gripe is the small stuff that costs nothing to include in the design, dihedral, spinner size, gear angle, etc and they continue to do it time after time.
