Discrepancies? Seriously, do some actually believe the manufacturer considers what a top gun judge may think of "detail correctness"?
99 percent of us care about 3 scale considerations in warbirds :
- do the wheels go up?
- can you tell what kind of warbird it is when it rips by on a low pass?
- is there some kind of pilot visible in the cockpit when it makes that pass?
The primary non-scale concern?
- Does it fly good?
I'll tell you what disappoints me the most is seeing a great looking, scale correct warbird on the ground, either never leave the ground or lumber around tentatively, overweight and under powered. That makes me sad.
