Great Planes did a good job in replicating the CAP, but of course it is not precision scale. I would say they main landing gear looks pretty good as well as the canopy and tail. If someone wanted to refine a few areas such as tail gear, cockpit area, canopy attachments, scale covering scheme with numbers etc,. it would look pretty good.
The first picture below is full scale with a 4 blade prop and a more involved color scheme. The second picture is a model which if detailed out a bit more could look quite scale.
